How do birds reproduce?

Question

eg. do male birds have a p***s

Answer 1

Birds reproduce using internal fertilization. Most birds do not have a p***s - ostriches and ducks are a couple that do - and mate simply by pressing their cloacas together (the cloaca is the single opening through which birds excrete, mate and lay eggs). The male squirts his sperm into the female, where it swims up her oviduct to her eggs and fertilizes them. The eggs are then coated in shell and laid, and after an incubation period will hatch out.

Answer 2

REPRODUCTION

Birds reproduce by sexual reproduction, males having paired testes lying in the bodity cavity, and females having only a functional left ovary and oviduct.

Sperm passes out of the testis into a duct ( the vas deferens) which expands near the cloaca* into a storage organ. During copulation, the cloaca is everted and s***n is deposited in the female's cloaca.

( In some birds, such as the Anseriformes, Tinamidae, Cracidae, and the ratites, males have a p***s-like organ.)

The females lay sets of EGGS , known as clutches, in discrete groups, in clearly defined NESTS . This may range from just a scrape in the ground to highly elaborate constructions.

Numbers of eggs laid in a clutch may vary considerably, both between species and within species.

Shape varies,too - although related groups of birds tend to have similar egg forms - while colour may be uniform, or a ground-colour overlaid with streaks,spots,blotches,or patterns of one or more colours.

Following laying, there is a period of incubation* .
