Valentine's Day


On da 14th it’s time 4 chocolates, candle-lit dinners n other romantic smoochiness. . . Although Valentine’s Day has become a big hit internationally, da roots of holiday goes back to and old European belief that ducks, swans and other birds of a feather choose their lifelong mates in mid February. . . See!!! How cool it was rite???

Medieval British, French, Italian, n other romantic Europeans held view was that birds were monogamous, moving through life wing in wing, n dying of broken hearts when their partner succumbed to old age. . .

Studies by modern ornithologists however show that our feathered frenz r prone to promiscuity n other sexual sneakiness. . .

While swans, geese, eagles, n some owls n parrots mostly mate 4 life, pair will separate n find another partner if they have problems producing eggs. . . A frisky partner is also not averse to having a quick affair if da opportunity comes up. . .Wat a scandal rite??? Hahahahaha. . .

The duck family mostly mate 4 life but many mate 4 one breeding season, a sort of serial monogamy. . .

In addition, ornithologists point that the North American dabbling ducks n some of their relatives r monogamous purely becoz da males find it impossible to police more than one female. . . Wow!!! Watch out guys. . . Organized ducks with easy 2 manage partners do make whoopee outside da pair bond when they can.

Worryingly, scientists have evidence that ducks, geese, n other birds also engage in violent behavior, including sexual assault n battery of non-mates. . . Aiyark!!! Such a jerk. . .

As da field of animal sexuality is will hotting up, researchers r rushing 2 make a new look at da love of birds.

Romantic Valentine’s Day imagery will no doubt stick 2 iconic images such as da two swans with their neck intertwined in a classic clinch, but comedians should new unpalatable truths ornithologists come up with. .
