I'm going to apologize again for being late, but I have a good reason. You can probably guess it, so I'm just going to move on. It's been suggested that repeating my murderous intent towards my internet company is not a good thing to have recorded if something ever comes up, so...just forget I said anything.
Welcome to the 13th. I'm almost a week behind again, and I am not happy with that. Expect a flurry coming forth to try to catch up.
Flamingoes.
Like Penguins, these guys tend to form long-term relationships, and a lot of them are male. They also tend to adopt chicks to raise together.
They've been observed having both gay and lesbian pairs, and triads with two of one and one of the other, but they still have lots of same-sex affection displayed between all three, so it's not just a guy having a mistress, it's all three together.
One of the proofs of everything is that male/male pairs of flamingos make larger nests to share. While it's obvious that these have been found in zoos, they have also been found in the wild, so it's not just a captivity thing.
Paignton Zoo recently had an interesting hatching season where a pair of male flamingoes hatched an egg, which was thriving as of a month old. It's unknown where Curtis and Arthur found the egg they hatched, but the did. And here he is, pic from the CNN link.
This is yet another time where you have to admit that the natural world is gay, and any human objecting to that is unnatural and out of touch with both history and the animal kingdom.
Hopefully I'll be able to catch up to my plans soon. Thanks for being here.
