Polygynous dynamics are common in bird species, especially those that engage in lekking! A lek is a gathering of male birds to engage in competitive displays and courtship rituals. In Raggiana Bird-of-Paradise, males will display on display perches, and will pair with multiple females.
Our flamingo flock is quite the queer-friendly space! A variety of bird species display polygyny, and our Chilean Flamingo flock is one of many. The dynamics in our flock change every year, and pairs and trios of this species will mate for a season and remain committed to each other then.
Another pair at Tracy Aviary that is a same-sex pairing are our Black-crowned Night Herons! Our male pair this past spring worked hard at building a nest together. You can spot these birds in our Kennecott Wetlands Experience habitat!
There are many birds that have same-sex partnerships in the wild. We have a few here at Tracy Aviary that we will be spotlighting this week! Not many folks know that our Barn Owl pair is a same-sex pairing! These two females can be seen by each other's side, snuggled up in Owl Forest.
