Elmo: Well, the video that Nina showed us
of the baby flamingo... Nina: Yeah?
Elmo: That baby flamingo is white, not pink.
Rudy: Oh, yeah! Why is that?
Fred: Well, that's because flamingos' feathers change color
as we get older. Elmo: Why?
Bert: I can explain it. Nina: Really?
All right. Take it away, Bert.
Bert: Don't mind if I do.
Now, let me make this as simple as I can.
When flaminglets hatch, they have white downy feathers.
As they get older, their feathers change to gray,
then to brown,
and then--and then to pink
because... [Computer beeps]

Zucchinis grow from seeds that are planted in the spring.
The zucchini plant has a bright yellow flower,
which can also be eaten.
When the zucchinis are fully grown and ripe, they are picked,
put in crates, washed, and sent to markets and stores.
Here are some zucchini
