Their synchronized movements are captivating to watch. Pink flamingos are social birds that live in large colonies in the wild. Observing their interactions within these groups can be fascinating, as they exhibit complex social behaviors like courtship displays and cooperative feeding.

Flamingos in the wild: Philippi biblical tours

Flamingos in the wild is the least expected thing to see on our Biblical Philippi tour. Most of my guests, mostly from U.S.A are fascinated to enjoy such a spectacle. We have a good chance to see pink flamingos on our way to Philippi. In fact, we drive by Volvi Lake and Tuzla lagoon by Strymon River, so if we spot these amazing birds, we make a quick stop and grab our binoculars.
