Gay flamingos pick up chick

[KamaAina]

Santorum tried to warn us! Man on dog! Bird on bird! :sarcasm: First we learn that perhaps 8 percent of all rams are gay, and now this...

Carlos and Fernando had been desperate to start a family, even chasing other flamingos from their nests to take over their eggs at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) in Slimbridge near Bristol.

But their egg-sitting prowess made them the top choice for taking an unhatched egg under their wings when one of the Greater Flamingo nests was abandoned.

Why, oh why, couldn't we have found a nice, sraight, white, Christian flamingo pair to adopt the egg? (They're actually only pink as long as they eat a certain shrimp that has pink pigmentation.) Think of the horrible psychological trauma facing the poor fledgling! And the Maury show doesn't even take birds! :sarcasm:

The couple, together for six years, can feed chicks by producing milk in their throats.

I'm not gonna go anywhere near that one...
