Actually Most Birds Are Man-Hopping, Status-Seeking Whores
Don't worry, ladies! "The Bird Detective," a forthcoming collection of research on bird lovin', explains that birds all around us are perpetually trading up, ditching their husbands and babies and looking for hotter birds with whom to spread sushi on their taut, aging bodies. So it's not capitalism, or the paradox of choice, or plain old postmodern inertia and ennui that makes modern dating and romancing a nightmare of fickle sluttiness and Carrie Bradshawism, it turns out. Animals are just like that. Embrace it! Birds are skanks and so are you!
Why am I thinking of Hyacinth Bucket when I hear the word bird?
I *love* Hyacinth: "It's booo-KAY."
Probably because of Onslow?
I'm thinking bucket of KFC.
@NotAndyCoop: After Yesterday, that's making me think of "BRING ME A BUCKET" from Monty Python.
Wait, the wandering albatross is faithful. Shit like this is what makes learning all those animal names so difficult.
Albatrosses are gay, don't you read the NYTimes?
Gay and monogamous. ALERT THE MEDIA.
Next you gonna tell me that hippos are not such good ballet dancers?
I am scared of the photo here. Are those the SATC women? Or drag versions of the same? Someone, please, help me.
they hail from knifecrime island.
There is a difference?
Also WOW Cynthia Nixon looks uncomfortable!
someone is in desperate need of her Garnisse

WHERE are my smelling salts.
Sorry for the Crankette rant I'm about to go on because I SWEAR I have a sense of humor and also understand that this is meant to be a play on the British use of "bird" to describe women but… that article is not specifically about the behavior of the female of the species. The rendering of this post is kind of irritatingly misogynistic, and Choire I expect better from you. Next you're going to be feather-snarking those poor creatures and telling them they're too old to be wearing jean jackets.
Well, someone is not going to get invited to my next hen party.
It's ok when the males do this stuff because they're so pretty.
At least it is not another "Shadow Editors" post, right?
Ha! How you been res?
Around here we say 'birds' not 'bitches.'
Turns out you're in luck cos I know this dodgy fuck in The Duck.
Actually, this is caused by spanking aggressive children or something.
Thanks but I think I'll wait until the NYT covers this in an in-depth report entitled "They Skanks?".
