Gull guard


The gull guarding the juvenile flamingo feeding voraciously to get into the pink of health.

  1. ...I didn't realize until recently that the flamingo's color depended on what it ate!

  5. Oh, yes, I heard that somewhere, that flamingos feed themselves to get into the pink. But why do they do that then? Isn't it something that the females find attractive? I don't remember; I should look up the video. It was a nature video. Nice that you're sharing this. Also, the bird in the foreground.

    It's cold here, and when it's so cold, the seagulls come inland. I threw up a piece of bread, and suddenly I was surrounded by seagulls. Black-headed gulls, by the way, with red bills. I thought it was great. Sweet greetings from the Netherlands. Today, I'm sharing 2 big animals on my blog. Bigger than yours :-) 🦩 https://momentsfrozentime.blogspot.com/
