16 Flamingo Coloring Pages

Flamingos are born gray or white. Their famous pink color comes from pigments called carotenoids in the algae and tiny shrimp they eat, so a flamingo with a less colorful diet slowly fades to pale pink. They often stand on one leg, which may help them save energy and keep warm, and they feed with their heads upside down, filtering food from the water with their bent beaks. This set shows flamingos with plenty of style. A flamingo waves while wearing a backpack, wears a bow tie with a bouquet, carries a crown and star wand, sports a flower crown, holds a heart balloon and enjoys an ice cream cone. A baby flamingo and two cute flamingo pages are perfect for young kids. Pink, coral and salmon shades layered together look realistic, and the beak is pale with a black tip. Long legs are great for practicing straight lines. Blue water and green plants make a tropical lagoon setting.
