Answer:

Flamingos get their pink color from their food.

Carotenoids give carrots their orange color or turn ripe tomatoes red. They are also found in the microscopic algae that brine shrimp eat. As a flamingo dines on algae and brine shrimp, its body metabolizes the pigments — turning its feathers pink.

It is not a copied answer.I have written this answer with my own kowledge.

But flamingos aren't actually born pink. They are grey or white, and turn pink over the first couple of years of their lives.

But,as far I know flamingoes are pink from there food.When flamingoes are born they are dull grey in colour.
