Apparently, when breeding, the two parents divide incubation duties, with one bird taking over the daytime duties and another one the nighttime. He was also nearly strangled by a pet python that he kept. At between 4 pm and 6 pm, to be exact. Of course, many people still know exactly what they did when this happened.

The breeding ecology of the Yellow-bellied Warbler was actually studied exactly here at Nonggang in 2019 by 3 Chinese researchers. Some Thai researchers looked at the breeding ecology of the Buff-breasted Babbler and published their findings in the somewhat unsuitable-sounding journal “Agriculture and Natural Resources”.

Other research (cited on the rather straightforwardly named website www.genderinclusivebiology.com) found that 80% of gay swan couples successfully fledge their young, compared with only 30% for straight couples.

One of my favourite Monty Python sketches involves a rather enthusiastic documentary into the sordid sex lives of the mollusks. They may breed as a group, but monogamy is the general rule. But I had pictures of moorhens to show and luckily for me I did find something to write about for this species.
