The BBC has a great story up now, about a couple of gay male Flamingos acting as surrogate parents to a chick. You can find the story here. Apparently they had been trying to steal other birds eggs to raise, and after seeing a nest abandoned the keepers decided to give them the abandoned egg to raise. In another curious part of the tale it turns out that male Flamingos can also produce milk, from their throats, so they can feed the chick until its beak develops enough for it to filter feed.

Just wondering, but is the fact that they're a "same sex couple" sufficient to call them "gay"? Couldn't they just be "good friends"? Or one the nephew of the other? ;)
Seriously, I didn't see any mention of any mating behavior, so I was wondering if the gay designation was strictly accurate.
