Flamingos fly in the 40,000-hectare (99,000-acre) Gediz Delta, formed by the accumulation of silt carried by the River Gediz to the Gulf of İzmir, #Turkey. The delta, protected as an important bird and nature area, hosts wide biodiversity on its meadows and wetlands.

In the Jazan region, mangrove trees are vital coastal habitats that provide a rich food environment for migratory flamingos. These birds feed on algae and small invertebrates like crustaceans and plankton in the shallow waters. The mangroves offer a safe refuge, shielding them from disturbances and predators—making them an ideal rest stop during migration and a key contributor to biodiversity along Saudi Arabia’s coastlines| Ibrahim Alshwamin

Flamingos feed by inducing vortices in the water which entrain and trap benthic invertebrate prey.
#Flamingos create water tornados to trap their prey https://phys.org/news/2025-05-flamingos-tornados-prey.html
Flamingos use their L-shaped beak and morphing feet to induce vortical traps for prey capture https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2503495122
"the birds use their feet, heads and beaks to create a storm of swirling tornados, or vortices, in the water to efficiently concentrate and slurp up their prey."
#Flamingos Summon Mini-Twisters to Suck Up Prey.
Three cooperative birds and a model bird head helped scientists figure out what flamingos are actually doing when they stick their heads upside down underwater https://archive.ph/kjsOn #birds #science
