Briny plates called lamellae act like tiny filters, trapping shrimp and other small water creatures for the flamingos to eat. Everybirdy loves seafood! | San Diego Zoo | Facebook

Flamingo parents feed their chicks a liquid they secrete in their throats, called crop milk. Young flamingos are born gray and white and do not turn pink for about two years, when they are old enough to eat on their own. 🎥 by Liza Diaz & Ivan Vasquez aboard #NatGeoEndeavourII in Galápagos | Lindblad Expeditions
