As flamingos in Turkey are labelled "partially migratory species," some of them stay in the country throughout the year while others migrate to Mediterranean countries. Generally found in the Aegean, Mediterranean, and Central Anatolian regions of Turkey, flamingos are also seen in the Black Sea and Marmara regions in small numbers.
