As Jason Kottke so artfully put it "Admit it, you already knew that flamingos were gay".
This article is short and sweet and describes a pair ofmale flamingoes (together six years) who were known to try and chase off other pairs from their eggs so they could raise them. When a nest was abandoned the males were chosen as the adoptive parents. They've bonded witht the chick and produce mild for it in their throats (!!!).
AWWWWW!
Goddamn, I love nature.
