The Barrow’s goldeneye may live longer than most other duck species, with one such duck living to be 18 years old.
Another pair at Tracy Aviary that is a same-sex pairing are our Black-crowned Night Herons! Our male pair this past spring worked hard at building a nest together. You can spot these birds in our Kennecott Wetlands Experience habitat!
There are many birds that have same-sex partnerships in the wild. We have a few here at Tracy Aviary that we will be sharing this week!
Not many folks know that our Barn Owl pair is a same-sex pairing! Barn Owls are sexually dimorphic, meaning that there are differences in size, shape, color, or even behavior by sex. Female Barn Owls can be identified by darker plumage and spots on their chest, while males have no spots and are whiter.
These two females can be seen by each other`s side, snuggled up in Owl Forest.
