Chef_Retardee: He doesn't. I can tell you from years of dedicated research that that family of birds doesn't even *have* dicks. Biology is a wonderful thing.
Anonymous4: Several species of birds have dicks or dick-analogues. It makes the females VERRA HAPPEH and so is often selected for when flying weight is not a big consideration anymore. The big flightless birds, ostriches and emus, both have pseudopenises.
The Red-crested Weaver, which is small enough and has few enough predators that the weight of a penis doesn't harm it too much, will use its penis to excite the female during mating sessions that can last for hours at a time.
