Pale pink flamingos at the zoo
Wikipedia says that a flamingo with pale coloring usually means it is not healthy. At the same time, it does not seem to be uncommon for flamingos in captivity to appear pale not necessarily because they are unhealthy but because due of insufficient amounts of carotene in their diet.
I’m not an expert in flamingos but these birds don’t look unhealthy to me. They appear to be talking to one another. 
Two flamingos are reflected on the water as they drink.
They’re supposed to be shrimp eaters but these flamingos seem to be feeding on fruits.
