Caribbean flamingos at the Dallas Zoo show off for potential #suitors with a synchronized “false feeding” behavior. While it can look like normal filter-feeding in a snapshot, this is actually part of the multi-step #flamingo #courtship #dance each breeding season. Flamingo are one of the only birds where both sexes simultaneously participate in the same mating display! First they head-flag and honk (swipe for a photo of that straight-neck posture and a beguiling closeup of a male showing off), and once enough birds join in, they march as a group or break off to false-feed. #pinkbirds #fancydancer #breedingseason #seasonoflove #loveisintheair (at Dallas Zoo)
