Phoenicopterus roseus
The Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) is the most widespread species of the flamingo family.
The bird resides in mudflats and shallow coastal lagoons with salt water. Using its feet the bird stir up the mud, then sucks water through its bill and filters out small shrimp, seeds, blue-green algae, microscopic organisms and mollusks.
