Yes it would, because of instinct, biological signals, hardwired in to them through evolution. You're comparing a bird to a human which has complex cognitive abilities and social structures which allows us to form our own personal preferences and also the fact that we have a deep history of admixture. We are also one species, the differences between "races" is superficial compared to the difference between a cuckoo and a crow. Edited September 19 by big feet Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would it know to mate with a cuckoo if as you said it wouldn't know it was a cuckoo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

big feet 324 Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 No, a cuckoo doesn't know it's a cuckoo, they don't have self awareness in the way that we do. Like all animals though they have ingrained behaviours and instincts. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
