  Outside of mating season, birds definitely do sing just for fun.

  And even in mating season, I wonder if birds really consciously try to “get laid” or if they just sing, because it feels like the right thing to do in the moment and then getting laid happens. I mean, some start singing very young. How would they know what it’s for the first time? Not all birds are as smart as crows.

  This review paper looks at the motivation for both kinds of singing: intrinsically motivated (just for fun, all year round) and singing that attracts mates. In the latter, it’s unclear, what triggers the motivation. The author supposes, it might be a combination of socially reinforced behavior and the vicinity of a mate, rather then the act of copulation, that triggers the reward.

  Birds are generally saying one of two things: “Fuck you,” or “Fuck me.”

      You’re thinking of seeds.

      Pollen is only the male half of the genetic material required for sexual plant reproductin.

      Hence, jizz.

  Sometimes the sound is the animals actually getting laid.

  This meme implies that birds and insects are not animals

    It’s also just wrong, because quite a lot of mammals and birds use sound for intraspecies communication (a la human language), echolocation is fairly common, feeding and hunting often generate sound… Sound production for mating purposes is a hefty chunk, but the joke here is pretty misleading.

  That just makes it all the more beautiful, to be honest.

    and it makes a lot of sense when one thinks of clear cutting in terms of puritanism.
