Flamingos

Flamingos are the first animals you see at the zoo. They are pink or reddish color. They eat shrimp and other small water creatures. They have long legs to wade into deep water to look for food. 
They eat by holding their bill upside down in the water. They suck in mud and water at the front and pump it out at the sides. 
Flamingos are birds with feathers and wings.
They lay one egg at a time. The chick is born with gray down feathers.
Flamingos live together in groups. They fly together with their long necks stretched out and their long legs trailing behind.
