Flamingos are regal , but kind of anserine creatures that are known for stand up on one ramification for reasons that not even scientists can fully excuse . If you ’ve ever desire to see them look sillier , contain out these biddy , which hatched at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Ohio recently .
The two babies hatched on June 28 and on July 7 . Currently , visitors can see them at the flamingo habitat for short point of time during regimented utilisation multiplication .
Like other animals raised in immurement , the chicks are kept with zookeepers and are hired hand - raised until they are able-bodied to bring together the flock . This is due to the threat of aeriform predators such as hawks preying on skirt . so as to off them from the parents , zookeepers replace the eggs with artificial ones and hatch them indoors .
In theory , an artificial egg would n’t bother an grownup flamingo . In the wild , eggs are n’t always fertile and when one does n’t hatch , the parent will take the air away from the nest .
Zoo official excuse that the birds develop womb-to-tomb bonds with their keeper . The process also helps them become easy to wield for veterinary purpose .
If you ca n’t get to the zoological garden to see the slight babes , then checker out some more photos of these small chicks with their oversized branch .
