Having pets makes it difficult for owners to exercise at home. My dogs like to lick my face or stand under me whenever I try to exercise. Whether they want attention or not, they always want to join in at the most inopportune moment.
Now, imagine signing up for a tranquil yoga session in the Bahamas only to have a few unexpected guests show up: flamingos. As you can see in the June 17 video, one funny bird has a unique way of making its presence known that will have you laughing out loud.
This cute bird needs to get used to more personal space! Sucheta (@suchetarawal) explains that her husband was trying to enjoy a quiet yoga workout while relaxing in the Bahamas. But the feisty flamingo had other plans. The long-legged bird set its sights on her husband, hugging and kissing him relentlessly. Let’s hope he’s nice, at least! I wouldn’t have been able to keep my cool, but this guy managed to stay in the zone. Perhaps he was hoping that if he ignored these approaches, the flamingo would shower his wife with affection, but the flamingo didn’t leave his side. However, his bird friend, who came to class with him, looked like a human student and took up a position on the empty yoga mat. What an interesting start to the day!
Are flamingos as friendly as they look?
Generally, these pink birds tend to keep away from humans. However, according to the National Audubon Society, these birds are very social with each other. Not only are they loyal to their chosen mates, but they also form long-lasting friendships. Researchers have also found that some birds are truly social and spend time with different groups of mates. Just like humans, these birds also have rivals, in which case they may avoid each other or show signs of aggression towards their enemies.
The bird’s antics left people amused. Viewer @tay.vee.ah responded, “This is a dedicated yoga instructor. He’ll correct your posture in some way.” Haha! Exactly. Another person responded, “It’s all fun and yoga until he pokes you in the ear.” To the man’s credit, he kept his cool the whole time. Viewer @jayceebrooke__ commented, “Guy on the mat next to me: Dude, what are you doing? Get back on your mat!” We all have friends who can’t stay focused.

Flamingos are lifelong friends, and the man is sure to see the birds again when he returns to the Bahamas, but he might as well skip his exercise class and enjoy an afternoon cocktail and snack instead.
