Chilean Flamingo

Nature Notes

Chilean Flamingo

Found in freshwater and saltwater lakes and lagoons, the Chilean flamingo uses its feet to stir up food, such as shrimp and algae. At hatching, a flamingo chick is gray and has a straight beak. The beak begins to change shape at 10-12 weeks old. The feathers begin to turn pink after 1-2 years of eating a beta-carotine rich diet.

Let's Get Social

Ruddy ducks, like this male here, are part of a group of ducks called stiff-tailed ducks.  A unique feature of this group are the long, stiff feathers that make up the tail.  In fact, their genus, Oxyura, is derived from the Ancient Greek words for "sharp" and "tail!"
