Send us anything cool. :)
Well after about an hour of reading I found plenty of examples of gender reversal examples and some cool behaviors but nothing regarding chromosomes seems easily accessible or even mentioned. Reproductive behavior seems to be one of the main criteria used to establish evolutionary relationships (aka the cladogram) but that's as far as the layman can find online. I didn't search in Scholar though.

Edit, lmao:
The wattled jacana (Jacana jacana) belongs to clade Scolopaci, and its karyotype has not been reported yet. It is an interesting species with a polyandrous mating system, in which a single female defends a harem of up to four males by aggressively excluding other females from their territory; males provide nearly all parental care (Osborne et al., 1977; Emlen and Wrege, 2004).
Are they "woke"?
Only in the day time, like most birbs. Otherwise they're "sleep".
Years down the line I will wonder why I saved this comment but I hope it will still make me giggle like an idiot then too.

Birds aren't real.
Question dodged. "What is 'real'?" - Morpheus
Oh birds are real. Very, very real. The question is, real whats?
No. There haven't been any real birds since the US government exterminated them in the 60s. Any "bird" you see today is a surveillance drone.
Even if they were surveilance drones they'd still be real, as opposed to mass hallucinations beamed into our visual cortexes by satellites. Of course, they're not actually surveilance drones, that's just a conspiracy theory started by the CIA to identify and monitor conspiracy 'super-spreaders' who can be used to spread whatever memetic trope the goverment of the day wants. No, really they genetically altered most plant species to act as resonant cavity bugging devices like The Great Seal. They monitor them with the same satellites they definately don't use to beam out mass hallucinations.
/s of course, because, haha, that would just be silly, and I don't want to be picked up and 'reprogrammed'.
Spy drones.
can we have a version that's less concise? maybe 500 words or so.
all you need is one saying it's confusing and the other saying "x birds can do it with a pea brain."
that's it.
really all it should take is just the word "seahorse", most people have at some point heard about how the males carry the children there. Can't really dismiss that.
- What?
- the lack of Pixels doesn't help the understanding
Wait wait tell me whats going on in the montanan high plains!
birbs be hittin’ it
Damn these government bird-drone manufacturer DEI programs, really trying to pander to the woke LGBT cultural marxists...
I didn't think it could look worse and yet here we are
Sadly, any more jpeg would ruin the small amount of legibility it still has.
Needs a few more minutes in the frying oil.

Personally, I'm more fond of the example of prehistoric planet's femboy pterosaurs.
