The proportion is highest in tropical birds (~20% of chicks!) & is particularly common in waxbills like Red-billed Firefinch https://t.co/qcCSrPCk87. If ♂️s see ♀️s mating with others, they may reduce care to chicks, so there is a cost. Why ♀️s solicit matings is interesting. 4/5 https://t.co/HDkMGFeELZ
