TN/16/2023 Greater Flamingo

Greater Flamingo ( Phoenicopterus roseus ) is an iconic wading bird known for its distinctive pink plumage, long neck, and unique bill. Their vibrant pink coloration is a result of pigments in the food they consume, such as carotenoids found in algae and crustaceans. One notable aspect of the Greater Flamingo's behavior is its migratory patterns. One such migration route leads them to Point Calimere, a prominent wildlife sanctuary and birdwatching destination on the south-eastern coast of India.
