Boys can be daddies too!

And who said that it's not natural to be gay? These flamingos are as natural as nature gets, and a male-male couple, and seem to be doing just fine! It's also proof that gay males can hold down a long term relationship - these two have been together 6 years! That's longer than all of my relationships put together!

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.

But their egg-sitting prowess made them the top choice for taking an unhatched egg under their wings when one of the Greater Flamingo nests was abandoned.

The couple, together for six years, can feed chicks by producing milk in their throats.

Looks like they're going to need a sequel to "Heather has two mommies"...
