…no, we’re not talking about the celebrities!

Two gay flamingos at the Denver Zoo have ended their relationship.

[{"selector":"#anim-63d312c1-8106-402a-9ce6-26a40d2975ef","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d17929d9-e923-4b66-854f-11c8b4d70566","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7d517d5f-2b37-47c3-bcce-5dc26f18a201","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The zoo broke the news on a Facebook post during the last week of June.

[{"selector":"#anim-c6361bc3-8e1b-48e2-82ae-524c46db2932","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0f31bcf4-54b8-426e-9a77-117d16a1e0a1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0c624215-86f3-44df-a9f3-cf1512125504","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

They later posted an update and apologized for “ruffling feathers.”

[{"selector":"#anim-ad68c6b9-8dfb-416b-a8f8-9a650282c387","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1d8ba67b-9946-47f7-92f1-7d5880ae1145","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1a60b604-be8f-43df-8230-7982b303799a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

They explained that both flamingos were in good health and the break-up was amicable.

They reminded fans that flamingos are social creatures and sometimes break up.

Freddie has actually moved on with a female flamingo, while Lance is single and ready to flamingle.
