sitting here waiting for the boss listening to the wireless watching a pair of plovers in the mating ritual, well I think it is the mating ritual unless he's late home from the waterhole again and she's giving him what for, not that I would know anything about that!!
anyhooo!! just watching this pair and enjoying a little bit of silence I was wondering why the male of the species chases the female, she is the one that wants a "commitment" she is the one that needs a little "piece" of the male, the male builds the nest and then guards against all comers whatever the cost even chasing a whistling kite off three times it's size
he places all energies towards the nest, gotta wonder why he would bother, now I'm not drawing any comparisons here but HMMMMMM!!!
in the name of a great man WHY IS IT SO!! surely if the female wants all these things and more then why isn't she doing the chasing, why isn't the male sitting in a sandbar somewhere along the creek bed, sitting back slurping down the cooling snails, salivating over the algae, laying back enjoying a great day with his duck and waterfowl Friends
then along comes missus plover, and in comes the nagging "why haven't you taken those broken eggshells out yet, where is that down I ordered 2 weeks ago, why aren't you teaching the littlies how to fly and catch bugs, always hanging out down at the dam with your Friends"
nag, nag, nag, gee I'm glad I'm not a plover!!!!!!!!
must be a hard life!

The owner of the v a g i n a wins Dave, suck it up son.
Not always Firefly, sometimes it's a case of he who holds the gold makes the rules....then the other party with the Vagina says "hey I don't need your gold, I have my own goldmine built in".... I do think that the reason the males do the chasing is because ultimatley the reward of the hunt is overwhelming, and modt females think they are clever because they can fake orgasms but men are smarter they can fake an entire relationship if there is sex up for grabs.....

Yep Ime always sucked in by a v a g i n a . So the wife says????
(2) birds don't actually have that naughty word thing that fly said, they have a multi functional cloaca, a wee wee hole and a poo poo hole in one, pretty clever really
Maybe what you think is nagging, is the hen sending messages of love and encouragement to the rooster thing Dave. Then again maybe she is just lulling him into a false sense of security before she eats him.
Hang on, thats the spider isn't it.

oh nice thought of the day, innocent birdwatching turns into cannibal rampage!! cant wait for sir David Attenborough to have a show about that one, now watch this kiddies!!!!!!!!
but it was definate nagging, I recognised the wing flapping, not first hand mind but I umm errr read about it somewhere!
I like doing the chasing............... At least then I have some control over who I'm chasing. If it was the other way around I would get all the ugly ones chasing me. Doesn't bear thinking about.
Yep Firefly......................you are right. It's called "Pussy Power" Not a bad thing.

ah chasing, yes I remember that, I chased the dragon until she caught me!!!!!!!!!
I get home at around 4am for a couple of hours kip, you know what she said to me last night, as I was pouring myself into bed, "did you put the bin out, you know today is garbage day" GRRRRRrrrrrrrrrr!!!!
Dave out in his undies putting bin at kerb at 4 in the morning, what a sight!
In my humble opinion, it's because MOST men don't think with their BRAINS, to be polite. Cheers, xina.
OUCH!!!

I'm very well trained fly, one word from her and I'm all a quiver!! and yes ducky has been caught "holding his flag" in many public places so I can vouch for that!

I'm waiting for one of you 'fairer' sex to explain that when man was created he was given a brain and a pe nis but only enough blood to make one work at a time.

I will I promise, honestly I will, just one thing if my dangly bit is in gear why would I have to engage my brain??
of course the pecunery size of the last drive mechanism to be engaged will have a detrimental effect on the oil (blood) starvation of the secondary implementation of any subsequent gearing engagement and may possibly cause the intermittent failure thereof
and if you understand that please explain it to me!
