Flamingos or all cranes are the common names of birds forming the Phoenicopteridae family. There are six species classified into three living genera. According to the latest findings of biologists, the European species, the Rosa species, and the Cuban species with two subspecies capable of interbreeding and hybridizing are categorized. Flamingos have long, slender legs, a long, curved neck, and pink feathers. One of their distinctive features is their curved beak, which serves as a filter when dipped in water or mud to extract food. The red hues of their feathers vary according to the carotene content of their diet. Young birds in captivity have white feathers due to the low carotene content of their diet.
