Could it be construed as 'projecting' to be WANTING birds to be 'faithful', when clearly many are not?

Granted, there is strong pair-bond fidelity in some, or perhaps many, species, but even in those species where there is pair fidelity for one or more seasons, research has shown that there is often also a high degree of cross-pair sexual interraction.

We might wish all birds were 'faithful', but it is just not so.

People project too much. Guys who are misogynists, sleep around, or have issues with pornography addiction are totally into the idea that male birds can't be faithful. But the facts show us that many birds are faithful for
life. Lets not sully that with your own personal issues, thankyou.
