Flamingo Fluff Ball!

Walker, SeaWorld Orlando's Flamingo 1

Walker, a Caribbean flamingo, explores his habitat at SeaWorld in Orlando.  Hatched just four weeks ago, Walker eats plenty of fish, krill, hardboiled egg and cereal and as an adult will feed on a special diet formulated just for flamingos.  In fact, the trademark bright pink color of Walker’s future feathers is caused by carotenoid pigments that occur naturally in a variety of plant and animal life and are responsible for the red and orange coloring in many birds.  SeaWorld’s avian experts expect Walker to grow into his adult plumage in about three years.  To learn more about Caribbean flamingos, go to SeaWorld.org.
