Original sentence: The shrimp diet makes the flamingo’s feathers pink.
Is it correct? It's understandable, but a little bit awkward. Here are clearer, correct ways to say the same idea.
- Better: A diet of shrimp makes a flamingo's feathers pink.
- Or: Eating shrimp makes flamingos pink.
- Or more detailed: The shrimp in a flamingo's diet make its feathers pink.
Why these are better?
- "A diet of shrimp" sounds clearer than "the shrimp diet."
- Use "a flamingo's" or "flamingos" so it's clear you mean one flamingo or flamingos in general.
- Make sure the verb matches the subject: if the subject is "diet" (singular), use "makes." If the subject is "shrimp" (plural), use "make."
My top choice to use: A diet of shrimp makes a flamingo's feathers pink.
