Flamingos, a hot pink bird that mainly live in the cooling waters of South Africa, aren’t born with their outstanding colours. The are born as fluffy white chicks just a few inches tall, but to gain their colour, they need to eat as much as it can. Flamingos only eat pink fish and krill, so their feathers pigment themselves. However, it is not only the children who are white; some mothers have drained their colours due to that they have put so much strength into producing an egg. They will have to eat as much as they can to regain their colour, and it will take long.
