Greater Flamingos, known for their pink color, have arrived early at the Khadak Malegaon Dam in Nashik.

These birds usually come to the Nandur Madheshwar Sanctuary during winter, but this year, they arrived early, exciting local bird watchers.

Flamingos, which can be up to 1.5 meters tall and weigh up to 4 kilograms, are known for their ability to fly at speeds of 50-60 kilometers per hour.

They eat crabs, mussels, and other small sea creatures using their unique beaks to filter food.

Both male and female flamingos care for their eggs.

In India, these birds are also commonly seen in places like Kutch, Rajasthan, and Tamil Nadu.
