Transcript
Flamingos aren't actually born pink; they're more like a walkin' science experiment! See those tiny shrimp and green algae? That's their Pink Food, and it's full of a secret color power. Inside those snacks are teeny-tiny Color Bits that act just like natural paint. When the flamingo eats, it all goes down to their Tummy, which works like a little factory to mash everything up and let the color out. Then, those pink bits hop onto the Blood Stream, travelin' like a fast river all the way to the tips of their wings! Finally, as New Feathers grow in, they soak up all that color until the flamingo is BRIGHT pink from head to toe! It's like turnin' into what you eat! Tiny Concepts.
