I did not know this! :shrug:

Long story as to how I ended up googling for 'bird penis'...but I found 2 shocking bits of info. One being the non-wang thing, and the other the discovery of the longest male duck tool...

6. The fact that you have children must scare some people, huh?

:D I know...I'm just a silver-tongued devil. ;-)

7. The fact that I have children

BETTER frighten everyone...otherwise all my efforts will have been for nought. :P :evilgrin:

3. Thanks for the info!

I have a male & female parakeet. Didn't know what Mr. Buddy had going on down there! BTW, you are from N.C. aren't you? I was born there. Two minds....

10. The 'didn't know what Mr. Buddy had going on down there'

is kinda where this all started...I was at someone's house who has parrots...the male did a big loud wolf whistle when I came in (Maui, you suckup...;)) and it got me thinking 'do birds even HAVE...er...appendages in that area?'...:shrug:

Yes, I really, really need a lobotomy. :D

[mwdem]

12. I gotta look this up..

Poor Buddy..poor Samantha Bird.

4. I have a male bird

He often seems frustrated. I had no idea why til tonight.:shrug:

[dolo amber]

8. It's probably just as well

being as they don't have HANDS, either. :D :evilgrin:

[alittlelark]

5. wow. I don't know what to say.

But I had to reply.

9. What do they call that

useless flap of skin around the penis........Man.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

11. Are you trying to tell us something? eom

[dolo amber]

13. I wonder if 'cocks' do...

:D :spank:

Man, that was like...SO the obvious joke, and it took me all this time to think of it! Must be getting slow in my old age...:cry:

;)

14. did you know you can only tell packrats species apart by the

bones in their "bidness" ??

I learned this from a vet student i dated who did his dissertation on it :smoke:

15. It's the female birds who suffer, really.

What hot female bird doesn't want some birdcock?

[SmileyBoy]

16. WHY were you Googling "bird penis"???

Why, why, oh WHY???

[dolo amber]

17. See post 10

Not that it'll make you feel any better about it, but at least you'll know. :D

18. They have cloacas.

The male's inverts for copulation.

Some "missing link" species, like the Vasa Parrot, have a sort of "proto-penis." You can probably google "vasa parrot penis" and get something out of it.
