"Why are flamingos pink?
Feather color varies with species, ranging from pale pink to crimson or vermilion. Caribbean flamingos have the brightest coloration: crimson or vermilion. The Chilean flamingo is pale pink.
A flamingo's pink or reddish feather color comes from its diet, which is high in alpha and beta-carotene. People eat beta-carotene when they eat carrots."

Flamingos are actually white, they turn pink due to the shrimp they eat.

It comes from what they eat - plants, seeds, and algae and things like that which are high in beta-carotene (which we get from carrots) and alpha-carotene
