Flamingos preening
Flamingos preening. Flamingos (Phoenicopterus sp.) are found throughout sub- Saharan Africa, Southern Europe and Southern Asia as well as in South and Central America and the southern states of North America. Flamingos range in colour from white to bright pink depending on their intake of carotene found in food such as shrimps and algae. Flamingos filter-feed using their turned beaks to remove any unwanted silt. The colouring has a considerable impact on the flamingos chances of mating as colourful individuals make more desirable mating partners

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of flamingos preening their vibrant feathers. Flamingos, belonging to the Phoenicopterus species, can be found in various regions across the globe including sub-Saharan Africa, Southern Europe, Southern Asia, South and Central America, as well as the southern states of North America. Their stunning coloration ranges from pure white to a striking shade of pink, which is influenced by their diet rich in carotene from shrimps and algae. These elegant birds utilize their uniquely curved beaks to filter-feed and remove unwanted silt while searching for nourishment. Interestingly, this distinct coloring plays a significant role in their mating rituals as more colorful individuals are considered more desirable partners. The graceful beauty exhibited by these flamingos during preening showcases not only their ornithological magnificence but also highlights the biological importance of maintaining healthy plumage. In this photograph captured by Science Photo Library, we witness a duo of these magnificent creatures engaging in preening behavior within a flock. Their synchronized movements create an enchanting scene that exemplifies both harmony and grace within nature's realm. This image serves as a reminder of the wonders found in our natural world and invites us to appreciate the delicate balance between biology and aesthetics that exists among Earth's diverse fauna.
