Did you know flamingos aren’t always pink?
They are born grey.
Throughout their lives, their feathers turn pink because of a natural pink dye called canthaxanthin that exists in their food — brine shrimp and blue-green algae.
It brings a whole new meaning to the saying “you are what you eat”!!
I know that humans can also turn orange from eating too many carrots!
I wonder what other foods could change our coloring ...
??!?
