Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Flamingos aren't just flamboyant for show! Adults are seasonal monogamists, meaning they only form partnerships for a single mating season. However, about 35% of these partnerships deviate from the usual male-female pairing; relationships can also form between two individuals of the same sex, two males and a female or vice versa, or even a group of four in any combination of sex!

Alright here’s the bird poll everybody, has a lot of fun making this! Before voting PLEASE look at the pictures of the legs below, it might firstly change your mind on what you pick! Also yes, you get the feathers at the top of the legs too, and yes, the legs are proportional to you

Pictures (in order of poll):

Actually turns out there’s an image limit?? So the next two images will be in the next reblog.

The Crimson Wetlands has two separated wetland areas, one reserved for the American Flamingo and the other for Scarlet Ibis. If you looked at the photos closely, you would see there is a grey flamingo chick all by itself. I wonder where its parent is.

There are barely any big trees in this Walk In Aviary, so try to visit it during the early part of the morning when it is cooler. There is also a Cascading Waterfall where you can take shelter behind the cool misty water if our hot and humid climate is getting to you.
