Two gay flamingo dads have adopted a chick who was abandoned by its biological parents. The feathered fathers came to the rescue at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo after the egg was rejected and initially placed in an incubator.
To increase its chances of survival, keeps decided to place the egg in the shared nest of flamingo couple Hudson and Blaze. Zookeepers felt this pair of flamingos were the most reliable candidates to raise the newborn chick in the entire flamboyance, which is the collective name for a group of flamingos.
Hudson and Blaze sat tight and waited protectively over their unborn chick - and since its hatched they have taking amazing care of the young one.
