These birds, known as Caribbean flamingos, have deep pink feathers and hooked beaks. They can often be seen in shallow waters, where they feed on algae and brine shrimpfoods high in pigments that create their pink color. The inscriptions include 2024 and ST. LUCIA.

History

Flamingos are known for their elegant look, but they are also incredibly tough birds. They live in highly salty lagoons that most large animals avoid. These birds build raised mud nests for their eggs and share incubation duties as pairs. Flamingos also gather in large groups and perform synchronized movements to bond with each other and strengthen group unity.
