Comment on I am definitely a bird me personally
prettybunnys@piefed.social 11 hours agoYes. I pointed that out in my original comment also.
Since birds pollinate and bees make nests, it as youve pointed out sexual dimorphism in birds tends to have them as the pretty ones.
It’s a weak metaphor

They both do both, lol. Not arguing with you by the way. I’ve just never heard this as a thing before other than the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees and the moon up above… I assume it vaguely comes from that maybe, but I’ve never heard men and women as birds and bees or whatnot

Yeah the talk kids get is often called “the birds and the bees”
The birds are used to signify mommy making her nest and laying an egg and bees “pollinate flowers”
It’s a metaphor for little kids.
The scientific aspects of the species are moot because it’s a very basic metaphor for how sexy times works.
