The greater flamingo is the largest of six species of flamingo and is the most widespread species of the flamingo family. It is found in Africa, Indian subcontinent, the Middle East and southern Europe.
The bird resides in mudflats and shallow coastal lagoons with salt water. Using its feet, the bird stirs up the mud, and then sucks water through its bill and filters out small shrimp, seeds, blue-green algae, microscopic organisms and mollusks.
