internal features
A flamingo is entirely pink, inside and out. There is
something in the Flamingos food that turns everything it eats pink.
This includes the yoke in their eggs and their skin.

habitat of a flamingo
All flamingos are found in places where it is warm, hot, and
wet. Flamingos live near lakes, swamps and seas in many
parts of the world where the weather is tropical.

Niche
What is a niche? Niches include relationships with other animals, their predator/prey, jobs in it’s
community, and many more things like where they like to live. They live near heavily salted seas. They eat the brine shrimp and brine-flies that live in places like Salt lake in Utah. This is because Flamingos are made for it.
Their upper jaw is hinged so they can hold their heads upside down to reach the water and scoop up the shrimp or flies. This also refers to the habitat that flamingos are adapted to in the environment. Flamingos prefer a niche where there is salty, deep, water lagoons, and plenty of algae. It is a prey because it eats shrimps and other crustacean's and other birds make up the largest group of flamingo predators

what do they eat?
In the wild, flamingos eat algae, crustaceans, brine shrimp,
diatoms, and aquatic plants. Captive flamingos also require water so that they can eat by pumping water
through their bills, as they do in the wild.

dangers
Adult flamingos aren't often attacked, but birds of prey will snatch
young flamingos as well as eggs. Chicks may be taken right out of the nest
before they're able to walk. Young flamingos who can walk are kept in small
groups guarded by a few adults, but large birds of prey find ways to
attack them. Young flamingos have a higher chance of getting ate for quite some time, since it takes
three to five years to reach adult size. Common avian predators include
white-headed, lappet-faced and Egyptian vultures, as well as Marabou storks,
eagles and kites.

ARE WE A THREAT?
A major threat is facing endangered smaller flamingos in Africa after the
announcement of development plans close to a man-made breeding site, built less
than two years ago to help reverse the birds' decline.
