American Flamingo

What you're getting

American flamingos are among the largest flamingo species you'll find, and they're properly social birds—the kind that hang about in flocks that can number in the thousands. You'll spot them in the Caribbean and along the northern coast of South America, where they've made their home. That striking pink you see in their feathers? That comes from a pigment in their food, which is why they're so flamboyantly coloured.
