is so dull in color and why well it’s
is so dull in color and why well it’s pretty common in a lot of birds a lot of
pretty common in a lot of birds a lot of
pretty common in a lot of birds a lot of birds are the males are a lot more
birds are the males are a lot more
birds are the males are a lot more brightly colored than the females and
brightly colored than the females and
brightly colored than the females and that’s generally birds that have quite a
that’s generally birds that have quite a
that’s generally birds that have quite a lot of competition for mating and so the
lot of competition for mating and so the
lot of competition for mating and so the males have to be brightly colored to
males have to be brightly colored to
males have to be brightly colored to attract the females attention and to
attract the females attention and to
attract the females attention and to show themselves off in order to get the
show themselves off in order to get the
show themselves off in order to get the females sort of look and gaze and to be
females sort of look and gaze and to be
females sort of look and gaze and to be able to then mate with them so it’s
able to then mate with them so it’s
able to then mate with them so it’s normally when you’ve got birds that’s
normally when you’ve got birds that’s
normally when you’ve got birds that’s migratory birds or one that because
migratory birds or one that because
migratory birds or one that because Birds all together here and they

better you look well the more likely
better you look well the more likely you’re going to get a female so that’s
you’re going to get a female so that’s
you’re going to get a female so that’s why the males are more brightly colored

interesting thing though is if you look
interesting thing though is if you look at the Cubs they are so full and so
at the Cubs they are so full and so
at the Cubs they are so full and so round but if you look at the adult
round but if you look at the adult
round but if you look at the adult females not nearly as much as what the

Cubs are so their bellies aren’t as
Cubs are so their bellies aren’t as round so they’ve obviously let the Cubs

that’s possibly the reason why they die
that’s possibly the reason why they die is they actually get into a situation
