Flamingos are widely recognised for their striking pink and red feathers, a characteristic that continues to interest scientists and nature observers alike. Their vivid colouring provides a clear example of how diet, behaviour and environmental conditions shape the appearance of animals that rely on visual signals. Researchers have found that flamingo colour is not fixed, and that the intensity of their feathers depends on the combined influence of nutrition, sunlight exposure and routine preening. These factors make flamingos an important case for understanding how colour functions in communication and how it changes under different ecological pressures. As interest grows in how wildlife responds to shifting habitats, flamingo colouration offers a useful lens through which to examine the
