VARIOUS OF FLAMINGOS AND CHICKS IN WATER IZMIR, TÜRKIYE - JULY 10: Nearly 18,000 flamingo chicks are growing in the shallow waters of Türkiye's Gediz Delta under the supervision of their parents. The chicks hatched in May on a 6.5-decare artificial breeding island, one of Türkiye's two main flamingo breeding grounds. After entering the water, the young birds gather in shallow areas known as nurseries, where they feed mainly on brine shrimp. The chicks spend about two months with their families before learning to fly and survive independently. Conservation teams are monitoring the area to prevent disturbance as the birds prepare for migration beginning in August.
