Welcome to my blog! I am having so much fun with Facebook! I can’t believe how many friends and “long-lost” relatives this marvelous networking website has discovered for me! I just want you to know that all of the “friends” I have acquired on Facebook are special to me in some way or another. From my immediate family to friends dating all the way back to elementary school, you are special to me for various reasons. I purposed that when I became a member I would limit connections with the people who mean the most to me. Even though it would be nice to accept all connections, I know it would take up more and more of my time, and I want to focus my efforts to keeping up with the current number I have.
The space for Facebook comments has its limits, however, and I realized that sometimes I would just like to know more of your thoughts about some of the ongoing topics and experiences we have had. Whether you’re just curious, or you have something more to share with me, this blog is for us. Friendship is so valuable to me, that I’d like to connect somehow in a deeper way. So, “Can We Talk?”
Bird Behavior
(I hope this topic doesn’t bore you right off the bat, but I’m still experimenting and this is what I have thought about today.)
I am currently obsessed with “summer reading”, and right now I am reading “The Sibley Guide to Bird Behavior”. (Don’t be alarmed, I still read a Patterson book occasionally, and other great and not-so-great fiction and nonfiction.)
Anyway, I’ve just read about bird relationships. Did you know that only a few species of birds are monogamous? Until recently, avian monogamy was considered a fairly simple and straightforward lifestyle. But recent discoveries have discovered that “monogamous” birds regularly engage in extra-pair “partnering” (For lack of a better word). Ninety percent are deemed “socially monogamous”, but “cheating and divorces” do occur. This has been proven through genetic testing. In many species, males with the brightest plumage and the most complex song repertoires find frequent girlfriends elsewhere. Meanwhile, the primary mate finds herself often left sitting at home on the nest caring for all of the offspring.
Obviously, there are parallels in human behavior; correct? Is it all just genetics?
