Episode Details

Birds aren’t just chirping—they’re also having natural, healthy sex lives, and new research is busting myths that this behavior is a sign of stress or captivity. Scientists studied over a hundred species and found masturbation is common in both wild and pet birds, male and female, and totally normal. Don’t panic if your parrot’s busy with a perch—vets are now urging owners to stop trying to stop it, since interventions like removing toys or even surgery can cause more harm than good. This is a major step toward understanding birds—and treating them with respect, not fear.
