Hah

One of my former professors at NCSU (Kalat) would start the semester in biopsych. with a lecture on the great tits. He would then leave that written on the chalk board for the next class to see when they walked in the room

"Likewise, some studies have shown that men with more attractive faces have better quality semen, he added."

Quote :

"Two days after a great tit mother and father—which share parenting duties—hatched their brood, the team added an additional two baby birds per nest. The scientists also observed a control group of 31 nests that were left undisturbed. At 7 and 15 days after the broods hatched, the scientists trapped both the stressed and nonstressed males and massaged their cloacas—all-purpose openings found in many animals—to make the males ejaculate."

"Because "females cannot always get the [colorful] males they want," he said, the females will often settle for a less flashy mate. But the females will still sneak off for a rendezvous with a better-looking male—and a dose of better sperm."
