  1. The homosexual male swans are known to have threesomes with females just so she will lay eggs, which they then steal so they can have their own babies.

    So many animals engage in homosexual behaviors...When you posted the Cock-of-the-rock pics, I learned that up to 40% of males engage in homosexual behavior and may never mate with a female.

    1. Did not know that, interesting! Puts the conservative thought "it's not natural" in proper perspective. Posted 7 years ago
      1. It is interesting how they overcome the issue of not being able to have babies, which would seem to go against evolution since homosexual animals wouldn't be able to continue their species...But, they just have a brief fling with a female and then steal/adopt the eggs! Problem solved! Posted 7 years ago

The Black Swan is a large waterbird, a species of swan, which breeds mainly in the southeast and southwest regions of Australia. The species was hunted to extinction in New Zealand, but later reintroduced. Within Australia they are nomadic, with erratic migration patterns dependent upon climatic conditions.
