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.

Tracy Aviary @tracyaviary.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

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.
