These three charismatic birds are the only ones on earth to produce food for their hatchlings. It is called crop milk and they make it in a thing called a crop which is located in the digestive system. Feeding is beak-to-beak. Crop milk is semi solid and in flamingos, it is red, because the pigment from their feathers all goes in, so eventually turn white.
Hetero flamingos and pigeon couples share this task between them. But only male penguins have the ability.
I’m likely the last one here to learn this.

you aren’t thanks for sharing
Flamingos also get their pigment from their food. Otherwise they would be white like the chick in the photo.
Flamingos are the whales of the bird kingdom.
No I will not elaborate

I worked in a zoo with flamingos and they love hugs
