Nature's flamboyant icon

The pink flamingo is a striking wading bird known for its vivid plumage, long legs, and graceful neck. Their pink colour comes from carotenoids in their diet - mainly from algae and crustaceans like shrimp. These pigments are metabolized and deposited in their feathers, skin, and beaks, giving them their signature hue.

The reverse design depicts two flamingoes with textured feathers and poised silhouettes standing gracefully in the water against the backdrop of a setting sun.
