The Ultimate Flamingo Book for Kids: Flamingo Facts, 100+ Amazing Facts, Why They’re Pink, Filter-Feeding & Colony Life

Love flamingos? This book shows how these birds live, eat, grow—and turn pink!

The Ultimate Flamingo Book for Kids packs 100+ amazing facts and real photos to explain why flamingos are pink, how their filter-feeding beaks work, and how huge colonies raise chicks in wetland lagoons. Meet species from around the world, learn about mud nests and that famous one-leg stance, then try a fun quiz. Perfect for ages 8–12.

Inside you’ll learn:

• Why they’re pink: food rich in carotenoids colors feathers and bills.

• How beaks work: lamellae act like strainers for tiny shrimp and algae.

• Family life: fuzzy chicks, creches (flamingo day-care), and mud nests.

• Habitats: lakes, wetlands, and lagoons from the Americas to Africa.

• Stand on one leg? What scientists think and when flamingos switch legs.

• On the move: migration, flight, and the famous group dances.

• Care & conservation: how people protect flamingos and their homes.

Short sections, captions, a glossary, and a kid-friendly quiz make it easy to read alone or together. (Print edition includes a word search.)

Great for classrooms, libraries, homeschool nature units, and any animal-loving reader ages 8–12.
