Nature shows the way

[asterroc]

Not only is homosexuality entirely natural, as evidenced by penguins, wolves, seagulls, and more, but so is divorce as evidenced by supposedly ever-faithful swans.

True, I've had a cockatiel do so. And is it bestiality if a non-human tries to mate with a human? Or if one non-human species tries to mate with a different one?

One of the funniest things I ever read via Savage Love was about this topic. It wasn't a regular column, but a HUGE and I mean VAST list of examples he'd collected over the years and posted online. There was one story about a budgie that made me just about fall out of my chair laughing.

I think it's only bestiality when it's person on non-human; all the rest of it is, I don't know, interspecies sex? (We don't need a fancy term for it since it isn't us doing it.)

And only if the instigator is the human, I presume, since I wouldn't call a bird humping my foot or a dog humping my leg bestiality.
