So you wanted to know more about ruff sex?

Do you have to be male or female? Relax, there’s a bird called a ruff that can be just as hot.

Scientists have discovered that ruffs have genetic sequences resulting in four genders. First of all, the female ruff is just… a girl. So we’ll set that aside.

The male ruff, however, can be split into three categories: the territorial males (tough and cute ones like an alpha), satellite males (not that attractive ones), and female mimics (we’ll call them the pretty boys). The pretty boys look exactly like females. These guys were LGBTQ friendlier than us the whole time.

It’s not just a fashion statement, the pretty boys can also take it to the next level. They have a thing with the other males. And they don’t shy away from having a little sexy time. Strange thing is, they both know what’s going on and don’t give a f*ck.

As for the reason why they do it, experts suggest that active “gay” couples might be able to attract real females in the game. It’s a win-win for the dudes. We’re not sure about father details.

But hey, there’s a reason why they say nature is full of wonders, right? That’s why we suggest you let the birds do the sex-ed next time.
