Male roseate spoonbills are known to bob their head and shake nearby twigs to gain a female's attention. 🥰 Once they've successfully matched, males gather those shaken sticks and present them to their date to build a nest together. 🪺

Like most bird species in North America, roseate spoonbills don't mate for life, but they do stay with each other for the entire breeding season. 💗

Fossilized feces like these are known as coprolites. 🪨 Paleontologists study these important poops to learn about the diet and habitat of the animal that produced them.

If you have a pet in your home that spends time outdoors, preventative heartworm medication is an important step in protecting them from getting seriously sick. 🐶
