Flamingoes in the city by Elsie Gabriel

 

YOU dont need to be a nature expert to discover birds in the city..just get active get going and discover a wonderful birding experience in your own back yard....


The Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) is the most widespread species of the flamingo family.

The Lesser Flamingo (Phoenicopterus minor) is a species in the flamingo family of birds that resides in Africa (principally in the East African Rift) and in southern Asia. The Lesser Flamingo is the smallest and most numerous and are huge birds with pink plumage.
The Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) is the most widespread species of the flamingo family but has less pink feathers.
The birds reside in mudflats and shallow coastal lagoons with salt water. Using its feet the bird stir up the mud, then sucks water through its bill and filters out small shrimp, seeds, blue-green algae, microscopic organisms and mollusks. They have a bill that is shaped uniquely to filter algae, small invertebrates and other food particles from the water while holding their head upside down. They migrate in winter from the Rann of Kutch which is located in the western State of Gujarat, where they breed, to various parts of India and are found in Mumbai along its eastern coastline. Airoli is a heaven to these pink beauties. An estimated 15,000 Lesser and Greater flamingos flock to this area every year!



Despite being the most numerous species of flamingo, it is classified as near-threatened due to its declining population and the low number of breeding sites, some of which are threatened by human activities.The Airoli mud flats and creek where Flamingoes gather should be made a Flamingo santuary and a tourist destination.........Elsie Gabriel -founder Young Environmentalists programme trust.
