Phalloid Organs

["Michael Todd" <>]

Anyone interested in the phalloid organs of birds should probably check out
this paper.

Birkhead, T. R., M. T. Stanback, & R. E. Simmons. 1993. The phalloid organ
of buffalo weavers Bubalornis. Ibis 135: 326--331. (Dept. Anim. & Plant
Sci., P.O. Box 601, Univ. Sheffield, Sheffield S10 2UQ, UK.)---Sexually
explicit pictures of the male genitalia of Bubalornis niger and Bubalornis
albirostris.---J.V.B. {ROL#74}

I haven't seen this paper myself, I assumed that the sex of the birds in the
pictures was the wrong one for my interests but others may find it of
interest.
