Animal Planet on Saturday posted a heartwarming video of a pair of Clark’s Grebes ahead of Valentine’s Day tomorrow.
The pair seem to be engaged in a courtship display. Grebes are known for the striking courtship displays just like the flamingos. Their courtship includes shaking their head, preening, carrying weed and diving like other water birds. The birds are also known as ‘water-witch’ and ‘helldiver’ as they can dive deep almost vertically. Like the flamingos, they have elegant snake-like neck, puffy head and beautiful silky plumage, NDTV reported.

Valentine’s Day isn’t until Sunday, but don’t let that stop you from celebrating early. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. #photooftheday pic.twitter.com/j8TjurmISD
