Mating Behavior: Flamingos

During the breeding season that starts in spring and ends at the end of summer for flamingos, they use Wing-Salute to attract a mate. During this time, the flamingos stand up tall, spread out their wings, puff out their chest, and looks as if they are continuously saying no. By doing this, it allows the males to show off their fitness and well maintained and groomed black feathers.
