Cool article, especially considering I didn't know there were gay birds, let alone their relationships are as strong as heterosexual ones.

Not so cool, since I don't have the novelty of surprise... it's like looking at sunsets all day every day: eventually it becomes boring.

But unless the reader has seen gay bird sex before (seagulls...): yes, very cool article indeed. I do recommend it. Hell: VOID liked it.


Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

I suspect that the bible thumpers will somehow dismiss these finches as 'not part of nature,' or that Satan got his hands on them. They will do whatever it takes to push their agenda that these acts are unnatural.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Why bother?
