How do flamingos protect itself?

Flamingos like in large groups to protect themselves from predators. Since most of their food source is located underwater, this lives them vulnerable to predators. When a bird spots a predator, they instinctively bite a nearby bird to signal that danger is nearby.

How do flamingos catch their prey?

Their bent bills allow them to feed on small organisms-plankton, tiny fish, fly larvae, the like. In muddy flats or shallow water, they use their long legs and webbed feet to stir up the bottom. They then bury their bills, or even their entire heads, and suck up both mud and water to access the tasty morsels within. A flamingo's beak has a filterlike structure to remove food from the water before the liquid is expelled.

~A paragraph from nationalgeographic.com

What do flamingos eat to turn blue?

"Young flamingos hatch with grey plumage, but adults range from light pink to bright red due to aqueous bacteria and beta carotene obtained from their food supply. A well-fed, healthy flamingo is more vibrantly coloured and thus a more desirable mate. A white or pale flamingo, however, is usually unhealthy or malnourished. Captive flamingos are a notable exception; many turn a pale pink as they are not fed carotene at levels comparable to the wild. This is changing as more zoos begin to add prawns and other supplements to the diets of their flamingos." ~ Excerpted from the Wikipedia article on Flamingos
