Black-Necked Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus) ~ Sarasota, Florida
Black-necked stilts courting is a wonderful sight. There is a dance involving splashing water on each side of the female, followed by 'the deed' and then a moment where the two almost embrace.
Thanks for visiting!
Sitting on the ground is perhaps 'living dangerously' with a big dog who would like to get 'close' :)
As the humans watch tv, color in or garden someone else thinks it's time for a cuddle. A teddy, quilt and comfy cushion, it's meant to be. A quick nap before dinner, no one will notice me here!
There was a time I and Ryhios spend lots of the time at Sunny Photo Studio.
Now again there. love the place and can say heaven for the people of second life

Looking through some old photos, and I came across this photo of Cuddles, having a rest after playing with his ball. I think this photo was taken about 2004/5
Greater flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus), male
These famous pink birds can be found in warm, watery regions on many continents, from West Africa eastward throughout the Mediterranean to South West and South Asia, and throughout sub-Saharan Africa.. They favor environments like estuaries and saline or alkaline lakes. Considering their appearance, flamingos are surprisingly fluid swimmers, but really thrive on the extensive mud flats where they breed and feed.
Greater flamingos are likely to be the only tall, pink bird in any given locale. They also have long, lean, curved necks and black-tipped bills with a distinctive downward bend.
Their bent bills allow them to feed on small organisms—plankton, tiny fish, fly larvae, and the like. In muddy flats or shallow water, they use their long legs and webbed feet to stir up the bottom. They then bury their bills, or even their entire heads, and suck up both mud and water to access the tasty morsels within. A flamingo's beak has a filter-like structure to remove food from the water before the liquid is expelled.
Shrimp-like crustaceans are responsible for the flamingo's pink color. The birds pale in captivity unless their diet is supplemented.
Greater flamingos live and feed in groups called flocks or colonies. They find safety in numbers, which helps to protect individual birds from predators while their heads are down in the mud. Greater flamingos also breed while gathered in groups. Once mating is complete, a pair takes turns incubating their single egg. Young flamingos are born gray and white and do not turn pink for two years. In years when wetlands and pools are dry and food scarce, flamingos may not breed.
The colony works together to protect each other from predators and to take care of the young. It is believed that flamingos are monogamous, according to Sea World. Once they mate, they tend to stay with that mate. A group of flamingos will all mate at the same time so that all of the chicks will hatch at the same time.

Don't get me wrong, I like to cuddle. But there is such a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so that they can't get away. ♥
This little cutie has been cuddled for a many years by each of our grandsons and still looking cute but a little rough around the edges!
