About the American Flamingo Exhibit
The American Flamingo Exhibit at the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington, D.C. showcases one of the largest species of flamingo, known for its distinctive pink plumage and graceful movements. Visitors can observe these beautiful birds wading in shallow waters, feeding on algae and small invertebrates. Breeding displays in large groups are a sight to behold, with synchronized movements signaling readiness to mate.
The Zoo is free to visit, but entry passes are required for all guests, including infants. Donations are welcomed to support animal conservation and research efforts. Members enjoy exclusive benefits and opportunities to meet animals up close. The institution also houses other endangered species, such as pygmy slow lorises, and has received awards for its dedication to bird breeding and care.

Reviews of American Flamingo Exhibit
"Another exciting spot in the zoo. Be sure to take a look at the cassowary and the spoonbills. They are extra magnificent. I think the vegetation could be done a little better."
"This was one of my favorite exhibits among all the birds because there are so many of them. It's also interesting to learn that the flamingos' vibrant pink coloration is not natural but rather a result of their diet, primarily consisting of shrimp and other crustaceans that contain pigments called carotenoids, which get deposited in their feathers."
