All you need to know about the Lesser Flamingo in Uganda – Best Place to see lesser flamingos in Uganda

Here is all you need to know about lesser flamingos – Lesser flamingos are scientifically referred to as Phoeniconaias minor. These astonishing birds are among the unique bird species explored by birders on safari in Uganda. Noted to be a species of Flamingo thriving in sub-Saharan Africa and some parts of India, the Lesser Flamingos are the only species in the Phoeniconaias genus. The bids are recorded as the smallest of all the Flamingo species though by most standards, it is a large and tall bird as viewed on an Uganda bird-watching safari and tour. Lesser Flamingos majorly feed on algae that occur in alkaline lakes and Spirulina just like it is at the Uganda tour destination of Lake Munyanyange and most other safari destinations here where they are usually spotted.

Lesser flamingos build mud nests stretching to 30cm to prevent flooding and ensure a cool temperature during their breeding period. However majestic they may look, lesser flamingos lay a single chalk-colored egg which is incubated by both parents in shifts for twenty-eight (28) days.
