Valentine's Day is For the Birds

The Chilean and Carribbean flamingos at Busch Gardens' Jambo Junction took part in a Valentine's Day enrichment activity designed to peak the birds' interest. Their well-developed color perception makes them extremely curious, and they are drawn to new and brightly colored things, like the organic red rose petals zookeepers shaped into a heart in their habitat.

These birds are amazing to watch. So graceful and beautiful and curious. Except for the one little fucker that bit me.
