Question:
Answers:
Wild songbirds have sex organs that shrink down during the fall (less weight to carry when they migrate) & come back during the spring. Males develop a "cloacal protruberance", which functions basically like the penis on a mammal. The female crouches down, the male kind of flutters on top of her, she moves her tail to one side, & it takes maybe 2 seconds. Watch for House Sparrows this spring -- They're everywhere in towns.
Waterfowl, like ducks & geese, have a permanent "male appendage". The actual mating looks pretty similar, only it generally happens on the water while they're swimming.
