Posted: Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:56 pmI had never given much thought to the Flamingos color, or that what it ate gave its color. Just took them and their color for granted, I guess. Raised in Fl. from age 10, and just used to seeing them everywhere, when younger. So now I'm learning again on this thread. They eat shrimp? Lucky creatures !!! Wonder when dinner is? Maybe the brown one only gets the dried up , been dead a long times shrimp? That kind of goes a long with Sparkles theory. Nobody likes him.
