Discriminatory language in the terms of a christian forum.

So they had a preferred sexual practice which hurt no one, but annoyed you, and you prohibited that practice.

Well, that bell ringing all day was annoying. And, as I said in an earlier post, it was harming one of them- he was so obsessive that he was losing weight and wearing off his feathers. Are you going to call the ASPCA on me, John, because I took the bell?

Now I feel bad. I bought a male Lovebird a few years back who died within a week. He would just sit on his perch, all forelorn looking. I suspected loneliness, but I was new to bird owning. Maybe he really did need a mate, one sex or the other.

Possibly I could have saved him had I paid more attention to color? (His bells were blue.) Sad Depressing and painful.

Lovebirds are particularly in need of constant companionship- so they need to be very tame and spend lots of time with you, or have a partner. But if he died within a week, he was probably sick.

And for anyone interested, here's a paper that gives an overview of the studies on homosexuality. And here's one that discusses the genetic evidence in an evolutionary framework.
