Wikipedia
Roseate spoonbill
The roseate spoonbill (Platalea ajaja) 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. Plume hunting in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries almost drove the roseate spoonbill to extinction. However, in recent years, the range of the species has expanded.

roseate spoonbill
The roseate spoonbill is a large, wading bird species characterized by its pink plumage and distinctive spoon-shaped bill. It is native to the wetlands of the Americas, particularly in South America, the Caribbean, and parts of North America. The spoon-shaped bill assists it while feeding in shallow waters, as it sweeps its bill back and forth in the water to catch small aquatic animals. The birds are also known for their habit of communal roosting and breeding in large colonies.
