RE: The Royal Spoonbill (Four Photos)
We have many spoonbills that reside in a shallow water area close to my home. At certain times of the year their feathers will turn pink due to the large quantity of shrimp they consume from their habitat. Do the ones in Tasmania do the same?
That's interesting. I think is shrimp that make Flamingos pink as well.
Ours don't go pink. They do go a bit yellowish around the lower neck in the breeding season.
