Dive into the underwater world of flamingo dining 🦩 These pretty in pink birds feed by sucking in water and mud at the front of their bills, then pumping it out at the sides. Briny plates called lamellae act like tiny filters, trapping shrimp and other small water creatures for the flamingos to eat. Everybirdy loves seafood! | San Diego Zoo

Flamingo feeding is fun for the whole family! Flamingos are filter feeders, much like oysters and whales. They use their beaks to strain food such as algae or brine shrimp from mud and sand by pumping water out with their tongue, sometimes at a rate of 20 times per second! Want to feed our flamingos yourself? You can book a Wild Connection for you and four of your closest friends or family to enjoy a Flamingo Feeding Adventure at The Swamp.
