Many people are obsessed with flamingos and think that these birds are really beautiful, that nature has given them fantastic colors, and that long neck is intoxicating. Observe flamingos for a while and you might think that their little heads don't have much of a trick. But these elegant birds actually live complex social lives. Each bird has some kind of little friend who is willing to spend time with them, while some of its kind are reluctant to contact, a high and cold look, huh.
Watching the video below, you will be confused by them and think that they are all a bunch of silly white sweets.

Zoologists always want to make the privacy of animals clear (animal protest: we want animal rights!). We want privacy! Not to mention the curious heart of the animal behavior psychologist, it is even more necessary to figure out why the flamingo looks like this. Paul Rose, a psychologist at the Centre for Animal Behavior Research at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom, spent five years observing five of six different species of flamingos around the world: Chile, the Andes, the Americas, James and the Little Flamingo.
So what are some of the interesting findings?
"The partnerships we see between birds are non-random. Birds are choosing who to connect with. The opposite sex can be teamed together, two of the same sex can be, and even three or four flamingos of different sexes or the same sex can form a 'family'. These relationships can last for many years. "OMG, flamingos are also very free to do what they want ~ Taoism!

Of course, there are other flamingos that are less sociable and prefer to be alone (even though they have a few close friends, they still have a posture that can be viewed from a distance and not blasphemed). However, they are often easily targeted by other races that covet beauty, "those birds that dislike social life the most...

So what is the reason for the amazing social way of life of the flamingos? Ross believes that, possibly due to their wetland habitat, the resources they need are concentrated in a small area. This means that the space and resources of this group of dolls are limited. "If flamingos get along well with their mates, they can waste less energy fighting with other birds they can't get along with." By spending time with their friends, flamingos can more effectively devote their limited time and energy to activities such as foraging and mating.
But the reality is often that the inner monologue of this group of arrogant flamingos is often like this: "If I want to stand up on one leg and dress up my feathers, I will be next to Xiaohong, not next to Xiaoqiang, and I don't like that crap of his." "Sigh, is there a sense of déjà vu of a young person with a new era of personality?
Oh, sir, are you talking about me?
