Chilian Flamingos
Wildlife Safari
As Zoo Bird Animals
Winston, Oregon
The plumage on the Chilean Flamingo is pinker than the slightly larger Greater Flamingo, but less so than Caribbean Flamingo. It can be differentiated from these species by its grayish legs with pink joints and also by the larger amount of black on the bill (more than half). Young chicks may have no sign of pink coloring whatsoever, but instead remain grey. [from Wildlife Safari website] 2021 Chilean Flamingos • 2015 Chilian Flamingos |
