HOW GAY DEAD DUCK SEX WAS DISVERED

It is not so much that up to one 10 of mallard upl are homosexual - no one would raise an eyebrow the liberal Netherlands - but they regularly dulge "attempted rape flights" when they pursue other ducks wh a view to forcible matg. "Rape is a normal reproductive strategy mallards, " explas Mr he reunts his semal paper, The first se of homosexual necrophilia the mallard anas platyrhynchos, he was his office the Natuurmm Rotterdam, when he was alerted by a bang to the fact a bird had crashed to the glass fa of the buildg.

Q&A: DISVERER OF DEAD GAY DUCK SEX

Rearchers have observed monogamy, promiscuy, sex between speci, sexual aroal om objects or plac, sex apparently via durs or ercn, pulatn wh ad animals, homosexual, heterosexual and bisexual sexual behavur, and suatnal sexual behavur and a range of other practic among animals other than humans. Current unrstandg is that many speci that were formerly believed monogamo have now been proven to be promiscuo or opportunistic nature; a wi range of speci appear both to masturbate and to e objects as tools to help them do so; many speci animals try to give and get sexual stimulatn wh others where procreatn is not the aim; and homosexual behavr has now been observed among 1, 500 speci and 500 of those is well documented. I mean serly, what person, and for what reason, do a search for homosexual necrophilia animals.

Back to a more ser reason for this post, is this may bee the startg pot for future posts on homophobia the Uned Stat, and the tablishment of pletely equal rights of all people, regardls of sexual orientatn. After the live bird was shooed away, spectn of the ad mallard revealed that was male, th makg this the first observed se of homosexual necrophilia mallards. In 1995, Ke Moeliker, a curator at Rotterdam’s Natuurhistorisch Mm, documented the first se of homosexual necrophilia mallards after he found one male mallard attemptg to mate wh another that had died after flyg to a mm wdow.

A unique Dutch double will soon be prerved the Rotterdam Nature Mm - hailed as "the two most famo tragilly ad birds of the 21st century" sparrow shot by an enraged domo enthiast after knockg over 24, 000 domo led up for a world rerd topplg attempt will jo another historic feathered rpse, the victim of the first scientifilly-documented se of homosexual mallard Moeliker, the Nature Mm's curator of birds, who was award the Ig Nobel prize for improbable rearch for his semal paper, The first se of homosexual necrophilia the mallard anas platyrhynchos, took up the se of the sparrow, which nvulsed the hapls sparrow terpted an attempt to topple 4 ln domo, settg off a s and so angerg one of the participants that he shot . "The domo sparrow is a symbol of the love the Dutch apparently have for this bird, and we will nserve jt like we did wh other birds that tell a story, like the mallard duck that was the first ever rerd victim of homosexual necrophilia, " he sparrow is currently the eezer of a misterial special agent volved the vtigatn of the illegal killg, but will be hand over to Mr Moeliker next week.
