Flamingos

i think flamingos should be added to the game because it would give the jungle biome something new and they would be cute you could feed them fish  and they would go stick there heads in the water to catch fish for you if you get them to trust you but they can attack you if you hurt them

    I was thinking the exact same thing. This is perfect for my minecraft playing experience.

    They should spawn in swamps instead of jungles.

    I think flamingos should be part of the swamp update.

    Features:

    Flamingos would live in large groups.

    They will sometimes molt, and drop hot pink, light pink, and gray feathers.

    They eat shrimp that turns them pink, and if they do not get enough shrimp then they will slowly change from a hot pink to a gray color.

    When the shrimp population runs out, they will fly to the next shrimp infested location( the shrimp will repopulate in the first location, and will never despawn).

    Flamingos will make nests and lay eggs(which are like turtle eggs and can only be obtained by the silk touch enchantment.

    If you are holding shrimp then flamingos will follow you, but you can not tame them.

    They can also spawn in Mangroves and bring some more color to them. I'm not sure if any fish spawn there yet though.

    Here's how I would implement flamingos: 🦩
    They would spawn naturally in jungles and swamps (But not the Mangrove Swamp, just the regular swamp to make the regular swamp more unique) and would eat similar to how sheep eat grass and turn it into dirt, but instead, the flamingos would dip their heads down and "eat" from the water as they are filter-feeders. They may also seek out frogspawn and try to eat that as well. They can also be tamed with frogspawn. Flamingos when they are first born will be white, but as they eat they will become more and more pink. Flamingos should also have the ability to fly as they do in real life, and if needed maybe shears could be used to clip flamingo feathers which temporarily makes them unable to fly. These flamingo feathers will not drop if the mob is killed. These special feathers can only be acquired if the flamingo is fully pink. If it is only partially pink, the feathers will be white and normal. Pink feathers however, can be used to craft anything a normal feather can craft, like brushes and arrows, but these flamingo arrows will have a longer range, and flamingo brushes will have stronger durability.

    The feather idea could totally be scrapped, I just really love the idea of a bright pink mob adding a splash of color to an otherwise very dull biome like the swamp.
