Gay pelicans:
Pepe and Enrique chose each other yet again to construct a nest and care for the placebo egg provided by staff at the Pelican Harbor Seabird Station in Miami. Pelicans are seasonally monogamous, staying with one partner during mating season but choosing a different mate the following season. Pepe and Enrique clearly have something deeper in their same-sex relationship, though, as they've chosen to build a seasonal home together for 18 years straight.
Humans
interfered giving them a placebo egg, which caused them to build a nest.
Would they have built the nest together
without the 'placebo egg'?
This description sounds like if the egg had hatched, Pepe and Enrique would have moved on, the way other pelicans do after producing offspring. The humans have 'tricked' them into staying together with this placebo, since they can't carry out ordinary mating behavior.
But instead of manipulation, its
"ohhh they are in love and have been for 18 years"... how do we know if
birds are "in love"?
Its interesting I saw these pelicans on a terf thread, trannies trying to claim the "mama" male pelican in this situation is trans! (or whatever it is with the clownfish they are always trying to prove)
So much bullshit. Just everyfuckingwhere.
