 I like how this is shaping out: the wildlife-documentary approach to commentary vs. the very human characteristics of the "ritual" is an excellent choice of plot.

+Given another reference to nesting and egg-laying, Ghyllians seem birdlike in their attributes. Budgerigars nest in colonies. Males will court and mate as many females as possible (involves feeding the female, as the female builds the nest and sits on the eggs, thus cannot forage). The females will accept courtship from any available male (one at a time). The Ghyllian system could work with the appearance of monogamy on the surface, but collective breeding underneath. --[[User:Precarious Armada|Celeste Theresa Worthinghood]] 10:55, 5 Jul 2005 (EDT)
