They get their name from the pigment phycocyanin, which exists alongside the green chlorophyll. The most common species in the lake is Arthrospira fusiformis, also known by its previous scientific name Spirulina. This is the primary diet of the lesser flamingo. Crater Lake Sanctuary, on the other hand, does not have many lesser flamingos, sometimes only a few, and alkaline-soda lakes are the only place where lesser flamingos can be found.
