Flamingos are birds not mammals. Only mammals possess mammary glands. Only mammals produce milk. Flamingos do not produce milk.
Edit: This answer is not entirely correct. While flamingos are not mammals and not not produce milk from mammary glands, they do produce a "milk" from the cells lining their crop, which can be seen in several bird species, including pigeons. This milk is regurgitated and fed to the young, whose beaks are not formed enough to filter feed as the adults do.
According to sea world this milk is reddish in color and contains the same pigments which the adults use to color their feathers. I assume that if the adults do not get adequate nutrition and lack these pigments, the milk will be a creamy cottage cheese color like a pigeons.
