Mating Dance

Flamingos in Basel Zoo performing their mating dance. Head flagging is one of the common dance moves. This warms the flock up to the idea of breeding and is most often started by the largest males, although both males and females join in. Flamingos are serially monogamous. They mate for one year, get divorced, and find a new mate the next year. New mates are mutually agreed upon - males and females both dance in search of a compatible partner.
