Season - 52 (Athene brama)

The Season ... 52

Pair bonding is very
important for
most species ...

... this species, though
has a complicated
interaction ... where
multiple males are
known to mate with
one female ... and
females may mount for
what is described as
' Pseudocopulation '

... which again may be
part of something called
' Displacement Behavior '

... their Social and family
organization not fully
studied and
understood ...
