"What did you do your dissertation on?"
"Err, well...."
Same
my bird does not seem to know this.
The bird may still be able to surprise you if you'd let it go free... and if you'd keep stalking it to record the mastubatory data...
even though we inherited it rather than sought it out we still like him to much to send him to his death.
Maybe he just a Wild Thing
I'm still finding ways to relate to birds.
Same!
I’m scared to ask but… how?
With a Kagi search I found the following info. On a side note, at least concerning this article, the VCA seems behind the times and recommends discouraging masterbation in birds, they also do not mention female bird masturbation. I assume that female birds masturbate in the same way because all birds have the same external genitalia.
