Meet the Scarlet Ibis (Eudocimus ruber)! This vibrant bird is native to northern South America and parts of the Caribbean, where it prefers swamps, mangroves, and mud flats. It isn’t always colorful—it starts out life with a mix of brown and grey plumage. As it grows and consumes red crustaceans, it turn a bright pink: more specifically, a pigment known as carotene in its diet is what contributes to its brilliant color.

kinniska I started to think “hey I wonder if it’s like the flamingo where it eats the crustaceans and only then gets its color” and then I read further down. 😬

johnsalvi25 So we eat carrots and this eats crustaceans.
