Belinda -

The bird who is a good provider for you and your chicks, may not be the one
who's genetic heritage you want to pass on.

DNA analysis on chicks has shown that the females in bird species that raise
in pairs chose to have sex with males other than their pair. As rape is
difficult/impossible in most avian species this is a choice the females are
making.

There is nothing wrong with being attactch to the romantic ideal of fidelity
if it's working in your life but it's a view that is not sustainable when it
comes to free living birds.

cheers
