The question is based on the following text. Flamingos are large birds that are identifiable by their long necks, sticklike legs and pink or reddish feathers. Flamingos embody the saying "you are what you eat." The pink and reddish colors of a flamingo's feathers come from eating pigments found in algae and invertebrates. Flamingos are water birds, so they live in and around lagoons or lakes. These bodies of water tend to be saline or alkaline. Flamingos are generally nonmigratory, but changes in climate or water levels in their breeding areas will cause them to relocate. Flamingos eat larva, small insects, blue-green and red algae, mollusks, crustaceans and small fish. Their tendency to eat both vegetation and meat makes them omnivores. Flamingos are pink because the algae they consume are loaded with beta carotene, an organic chemical that contains a reddish-orange pigment. The mollusks and crustaceans flamingos snack on contain similar pigment-packing carotenoids. To eat, flamingos will stir up the bottom of the lake with their feet and duck their beaks down into the mud and water to catch their meal. Bradford, A. (2014).
