Flamingos are generally non-migratory birds. However, due to changes in the climate and water levels in their breeding areas, flamingo colonies are not always permanent.
Populations that breed in high-altitude lakes, which may freeze over in the winter, move to warmer areas.
When water levels rise, birds may search for more favorable sites.
Drought conditions may force some flamingo populations to relocate.
Most flamingos that migrate will return to their native colony to breed. However, some may join a neighboring colony.
When flamingos migrate, they do so mainly at night. They prefer to fly with a cloudless sky and favorable tailwinds. They can travel approximately 600 km (373 miles) in one night at about 50 to 60 kph (31-37 mph). When traveling during the day, the flamingos fly at high altitudes, possibly to avoid predation by eagles.
