Description
The beautiful roseate spoonbill cannot be matched in beauty! This lovely bird was foraging in Florida. The roseate spoonbill is a gregarious wading bird of the ibis and spoonbill family, Threskiornithidae. It is a resident breeder in both South and North America. The roseate spoonbill's pink colour is diet-derived, consisting of the carotenoid pigment canthaxanthin, like the American flamingo. The color gets stronger during mating season.
This lovely creature would love to live in your home!

The pale blue background really makes the pink the star of the show in the wonderful bird portrait.
