Yesterday as I came home from work I saw two birds mating outside our apartment. I’ve actually seen birds mate a couple of times, and described these occurrences to my wife. “There’s a lot of down time,” I said. “Two seconds of the guy actually successfully on top of the girl, flapping his wings, and then he falls off and they just sorta stand around looking at each other.”
“So it’s pretty much like when humans mate,” she replied.
