Also ruffs (a kind of shore bird). They form groups so males can fight for mating rights, and for a long time scientists thought the female-mimics looked like females so they can sneakily mate. But it turns out that all the other birds probably know they’re male because females are more likely to join a group that has a female-mimic!

Femboys are just sexy, nature agrees.
