Gay flamingos celebrate fifth anniversary with their children
Britain’s only gay flamingos Carlos and Fernando, are celebrating their fifth anniversary together with their adopted children at Slimbridge Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust in Gloucestershire.
The pair surprised staff at the wildlife park after they came out five years ago and began to engage in a series of complex mating rituals. The pink birds have been inseparable ever since and have even raised chicks together after they stole eggs from neighbouring straight couples.
Whilst Flamingos are generally monogamous during the annual breeding periods, they tend to swap partners each year. Therefore, claim the birds’ keepers, their enduring love is somewhat unique.
“They only have eyes for each other,” said Nigel Jarrett, a keeper at the nature reserve.
“I have never seen two male flamingos fall for each other before, although homosexuality is not uncommon in the animal kingdom.

Interesting, they remain monogamous while the straight flamingos change partners every year. HA! Take that H8ers!
OK, cool story. Sorry about the above, feeling a little perverse after reading the rest of the Latest Page.
