FYI: I'm told flamingos get their pink color from their diet of shrimp. The babies get predigested "dribble" from the parents at this point, most likely the color is already leached out. They will turn grey as they get bigger, and then take on the "pink" as they are reaching adulthood. Thanks for your comments, all.

Cute. I guess they pink up according to their diet as they get older.
