Description : Chilean flamingo

Phoenicopterus chilensi

Order: Ciconiiformes

Family: Phoenicopteridae

Phoinikos means deep purple or crimson a word derived from the fact that the Phoenicians discovered this color. Copterus means evil omen. Reasons for this word are unknown.

Size and Description: This species measures 42-44 inches (105-110 cm) from the bill to the tip of the tail. Males and females look alike, however the males are a good bit taller and larger then the females. This species of flamingo has light pink plumage with a roseate color and some black on the secondaries and primaries. The iris is a pale yellow and the bills half black terminally and half whitish. The legs are gray to light blue with dark red joints and toes. Immature birds have grayish plumage with yellow legs and bluish joints. This species is distinguished from the Andean Flamingo (of which it is sometimes regarded as a subspecies) by its more roseate color, much less conspicuous black on the primaries and the lack of a vivacious area on the neck. Some also consider this species a race of the Greater Flamingo as well. Their voice is a babbling and honking sound.
