They just had some gay birds on BBC2.
There were 4 of them living in captivity, all male, and two of them started attacking the others. Apparently this was because they'd formed a "pair bond" because there were no women around.
In all seriousness, couldn't they have just said they were gay?

Is it though?
If they're shagging (and reading between the lines, they were), then they must be sexually attracted to one another, and they're of the same gender. Surely that makes them gay? Or, more accurately, homosexual, at least, if you want to remove any implications of a particular lifestyle that "gay" carries.

( The Doveston haunted by the memory of his own amnesia, Wed 8 Jul 2009, 13:52, archived)

that would be the problem with saying they were gay or homosexual, people would read between the lines and make assumptions
without knowing exactly what motivations are behind it. Pair bonding covers far more possibilities such as co-operation to protect territory or to improve social standing or boredom/frustration or liking a bit of cock. It also doesn't distinguish it from heterosexual relationships which may serve the same ends aside from procreation in other circumstances. It's suitably fuzzy I think.
