Gay Flamingos Adopt Abandoned Chick in Britain

This is so cute. There are also Gay Penguins (Roy and Silo) in New York City, but they haven't chosen to adopt yet. Originally from Towleroad:

LONDON (AFP) - A pair of gay flamingos have adopted an abandoned chick, becoming parents after being together for six years, a British conservation organisation said Monday.

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.



When you're talking about birds and the "nesting" instinct, it takes a little bit more than gender identity to overcome mother nature! What would Jerry Fallwell say about this?
