Flamingos are like supermodels（超模） in the animal world. They have long legs and beautiful feathers（羽毛）. They can swim and fly. They live near shallow water（淺水區(qū)） of lakes and swamps（沼澤）. They like living together in groups， which look like a big pink family. They stand on one leg to rest.

Do you know that not all flamingos are pink？ Some can be red， orange or even white with a mix（混合） of pink， orange， or red feathers！ This depends on（取決于） what they eat and where they live.

If flamingos don’t eat enough of these colourful foods， they may turn gray（灰色）. Also， if they live where the sun is very strong， their colours can fade（褪色）， just like your clothes can fade if you leave them out in the sun too long.

But don’t worry！ Flamingos produce（分泌） a special oil. They use their cheeks（臉頰） to spread（擴散） this oil on their feathers， kind of like putting on makeup（化妝品）. This makes them look shiny and bright！

Flamingos are now one of the hottest birds in the fashion world. You can find their images（形象） everywhere： shirts， skirts， shoes... You can even get a flamingo swimming ring（游泳圈）！
