Flamingos frolic at Bird Paradise in Turkey

Photos show the flamingos frolic at the Izmir Bird Sanctuary, one of the two main flamingo habitats in Turkey. This year, almost 15,000 flamingo chicks were born, a number that is significantly higher compared to previous years.

The breeding island at the İzmir Bird Sanctuary was artificially formed after the natural island eroded away. Since then, the breeding area has been the nursery for more flamingo chicks.
