The beautiful Roseate Spoonbill makes his home in South America, Central America and the US's Gulf Coast. His pink colouration is derived from his food, and can range from a pale pink to a bright magenta. His bare green head acquires a golden tint during breeding season. His distinctive bill is used to sift through mud, straining out the dirt and water, leaving him with mouthfuls of crustaceans, frogs, insect larvae and small fish.
