Homosexual Flamingos Adopt Abandoned Chick
The UK's Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) have announced that a pair of homosexual flamingos have adopted an abandoned flamingo chick in Slimbridge, near Bristol. Fernando and Carlos have been together for six years.
They have chased parents off their nests, and attempt to take over the eggs. They can feed the new addition to their family by producing milk in their throats. It was a combination of these behaviours that made them the perfect candidates.
WWT Spokesperson Jane Waghorn said: "They were rather good at sitting on eggs and hatching them so last week, when a nest was abandoned, it seemed like a good idea to make them surrogate parents." Gay flamingos are not a rarity.
