Roy and Silo, two male chinstrap penguins at New York's Central Park Zoo have been inseparable for six years now. Zoologists are discovering that homosexual and bisexual activity is not unknown within the animal kingdom. So do beetles, sheep, fruit bats, dolphins, and orangutans. In his day 'the birds and the bees' generally meant only one thing-sex between a male and female.īut, actually, some same-sex birds do do it. Porter, who first hit it big in the 1920s, wouldn't risk parading his homosexuality in public.
