      It is interesting that they are related to Crows but to me they sound more like their remote cousins the Currawongs ( only distantly related to the corvidae, belonging to an Afro-Asian superfamily of birds known as Malaconotoidea )

      Birds don't have sex for pleasure lol. The act of passing on their genes is what satisfies them so there's no need to make it last long and it's actually better if they do it quickly because they're vulnerable to predators while mating.

      @@nowandaround312 Sexual pleasure and arousal is still part of the experience for many birds , we know this with geese , parrots, ducks and a few other birds as there is evidence of sexual pleasure and some birds even pleasure themselves.With these birds there is clealy arousal involved that motivates these birds to be so picky about their mates. Cloacal openings of both male and female birds swell which could be considered not unlike how women,s vaginal walls behave when sexually aroused and birds like ducks actually have penises that get erect and clearly both sexes can become excited, although male muscovey ducks are notorious rapists that tire out female .

      Human mating seems to be the most complex out of any animal i have seen. You have to obtain certain physical and psychological traits, to maximise you're chances of reproduction. All females have to do is look pretty and spread their legs.

    • @julzyboy8960
      @julzyboy8960 7 років тому

      What your describing is the same case with these birds. The males are always eager to have sex while the females are more stubborn. That's why they have to compensate with their gorgeousness, in the same way human males have to compensate with their personality and whatever.
      While this may be the case with many humans, there are still so many exceptions since humans are just so much more complicated than you think. For example, I am a guy that's attracted to women, however I am more picky than these female birds could ever be, especially when it comes to a woman's personality.

      Why the selective pressures always on the males even on see horses. Maybe bit special Gene Expression .Clone not taken from sperm are weaker either have delayed development or health problems not good on healing as baby made from sperm even the bimaternal mice only lived easy controled condition .as the bimaternal mice had over Gene expression dentrimental in the lungs. Why they died after birth. Genetic testing on mice 58 to60% of active genes are the patternal set. Look at families you see the build bone structure check bones chin limb proportions tursos are much closer to the Father's. Sperm may have a bigger role and egg at the women's body is just an icubator . they even found Paternal Mitchocondria in some people. And can even use another species as an icubator for another. A Zebra grown in a horse . so are Women Still nessacary

      And what about Species that produce hundreds or thousands of eggs .
      Plus identical twins. .
      And why have a low sperm count make men infertile if it's not a teem efort .
      Watch sperm under microscope they swim in pairs often tree or at least 2 like cluster together .
