Flamingos! Anyone knows if there's blue ones?

I have vague memories of seeing a blue baby flamingo. I can't recall where or when. But I was real young. I've had that doubt for quite a while. Maybe any of you can help me solve this at once and forever.
Answers:
here is a picture of a baby flamingo.it is grayish/blue. Is this what you saw?

not sure about the blue. I do know that they get their pink color from the shrimp they eat. (or something like that)
Not that I am aware of. However, it could have had a blue tint to it, as many feathers do. Flamingos get their color from the shellfish and other things that they eat. Therefore, babies would not be pink, so maybe you are right.
Well, when I typed "blue flamingos" into yahoo search, nothing came up.

I've seen gray ones but not blue in the same sense that a Blue Bird is blue.
Baby flamingos are gray. I guess to a child they might have looked a little blue-ish (some grays do). Anyway, they turn white later and then they start turning pink because their primary diet is shrimp and that makes them pink.
no
I have never seen a blue Flamingo, but that's just me. Sorry. =|
Maybe. But just because lobsters can come in blue doesn't mean flamingos can.
