Pictures of Tropical Birds
This gallery features images of flamingos, the sulphur-crested cockatoo, the violet plantain eater, green parrots, blue and gold macaws and hyacinth macaws. We also have another gallery featuring images of Wild Scarlet Macaws
With their bright feathers and strongly hooked bills, flamingos are among the most easily recognized waterbirds. Their pink or reddish color comes from the rich sources of carotenoid pigments (like the pigments of carrots) in the algae and small crustaceans that the birds eat. The Caribbean flamingos Phoenicopterus ruber ruber are the brightest, showing their true colors of red, pink, or orange on their legs, bills, and faces.
