About These Birds
Rosaflamingo
Der Rosaflamingo ist die am weitesten verbreitete Flamingoart und einer der bekanntesten Vögel der Welt. Seine rosa Farbe stammt ausschließlich von Carotinoid-Pigmenten in seiner Nahrung aus Krebstieren und Algen. Flamingos sind gesellige Vögel, die in riesigen Kolonien brüten, die mitunter Zehntausende Individuen umfassen.

Diese hochintelligenten Papageien gehen lebenslange Paarbindungen ein und können in Gefangenschaft über 75 Jahre alt werden. In den neotropischen Regenwäldern spielen sie als Samenverbreiter eine wichtige ökologische Rolle.
