The bird is a master to search its food in the shallow water, since it has a unique spoon-shaped bill.
Roseate Spoonbill primary diets are small aquatic creatures such as:
- fish, like small minnows

Interestingly, diet of this bird contains both higher nutritious and pigments called carotenoids (contributes to its vibrant pink coloration).
