Pubic Hair ?

Ever encounter the situation when , u are at a swimming pool's public toilet , then someone's kid ask his dad," Daddy,daddy , why tat kor kor , uncle and daddy got hair there de ? Why i dun have ?"

Lol typical right ?
If u were the one, how would u answer ?

Ai ya grow up then u will know de . ?

Well but what is the main reason behind that "growth" , we all have but yet so unknown.

The changes during puberty signal the coming of adulthood, when a person becomes reproductive (able to have babies). Nature lets us know when someone is physically ready by showing us these signs. Now, that doesn't mean that we're really ready to have babies emotionally or maturely, but we're able to physically have babies.
Now, why do we have pubic hair?
There are a couple of reasons:Hair (no matter where) helps to protect certain parts of our body, regulate body temperature, and/or catch our natural "scent" (called pheromones) that is produced in our sweat to attract others (of course, this "scent" can also repel others if we don't shower often enough!). General body hair, like on our limbs and chest, is probably just a natural leftover from our prehistoric ancestors who were hairy all over to keep them warm!

There are many theories behind why humans have pubic hair. One thought is that the hair that grows around the genitals and under the arms lock in sexually stimulating scents called pheromones.
For some, scents released from these areas are noticeable and can increase sexual desire.
For others, pheromones might not be obvious but may be subliminally sensed. Some people believe that pubic hair keeps our genitals warm.
Others believe that the purpose of pubic hair is to prevent dirt from entering the vagina.
The exact evolutionary explanation to why we have pubic hair is similar to wondering why we have eyebrows…or why some people only have one…
With or without purpose, pubic hair can be ornamental and eye-catching to its owner or to others. How you style your pubic hair is up to you. There are women and men who prefer one look over others (just as some prefer a mohawk, mullet or total shave for the hairdos on their head) and there are people who don't think twice about how their pubic hair looks.
Pubic hair is unique in amount, color and consistency. Some women let their pubic hair grow into a full coverage of the pubic area while others prefer to keep their hair trimmed. (some seasonally prefer to have a neatly shaven “bikini line”). There are also women who choose to remove some or all of the their pubic hair. Shaving, waxing or removing your pubic hair is by no means permanent. As the hair starts to grow back, however, it can be very itchy and uncomfortable.

So why do we have eye brows ?
Eyebrows are a very significant aspect of our appearance. They are one of the most distinctive features that make up our faces, and we pay a lot of attention to them. We think of some types of eyebrows as attractive and some as unattractive, and many people spend as much time preening their eyebrows as they do applying makeup to their eyelashes or lips. Eyebrows are also one of our most expressive facial features. One of the clearest ways to tell somebody what you're thinking is to simply move your eyebrows up or down -- we all know what different eyebrow positions mean.
So, eyebrows obviously serve a lot of functions in our culture today -- beauty, nonverbal communication, distinctive appearance. But why are they there in the first place? As we evolved and lost most of the thick hair on our bodies, why did we keep that little bit over the eyes?
Scientists aren't entirely sure why we kept this hair, but they have a pretty good guess. We know that eyebrows help keep moisture out of our eyes when we sweat or walk around in the rain. The arch shape diverts the rain or sweat around to the sides of our face, keeping our eyes relatively dry. The most obvious advantage of this is that it lets us see clearly when we're sweating a lot or out in the rain. Without eyebrows, getting around in these conditions is a little more difficult. The shape of your brow itself diverts a certain amount of moisture, but eyebrows make a significant difference in your ability to see. Diverting the sweat away is also good because the salt in sweat irritates the eyes, making them sting a little.
There are a number of ways these qualities might have helped early man survive. Being able to see more clearly in the rain could certainly help you find shelter, and there are several circumstances when keeping the sweat out of your eyes could save your life. If you were trying to outrun a predator, for example, it's a good bet there would be a lot sweat running down your face. If all that sweat flowed right down into your eyes, you wouldn't be able to see that well, and your eyes would be irritated, which would certainly impair your ability to escape! Because of this slight survival advantage, nature would most likely select for humans with eyebrows over humans without eyebrows. Source - http://www.howstuffworks.com/

Tired of studying , haven posted for a few days already , so i decided to take a break and post.
2 days ago me and my gf went to this buffet restaurant , The magic of chongqing Hot pot at TangLin shopping centre .Not so bad ,but nothing magical , except for the waiter pouring 八宝茶 with this really really really long thingy from a pot and the supper hot and spicy soup 麻辣汤 ,recommend u pp to go try.

Lol jasmine sitting below the sign board ,

We arrive at the restaurant at 7 pm , the super over enthusiastic manager asked got reserved ?We said," no" Then he said ,"Well if u reserve now we may have seats at 8 pm ."So we agreed , mean time , bored we went over to the shopping centre opp orchard hotel . i think it's called The Forum Shopping Centre.

We Went to
So fun haven been there for so many years liao , Felt like a little kid again . Still amazed with the variety of Legos , Play Doh , Remote control cars etc etc etc. Haha , next time sure bring my kid there play , Yes play only ma , free toys , no need buy de LOL , u wan play , go again lor ^^
Well after tat playing the free toys for a while , wa 7.40 pm liao , time flies when u are having fun haha.
We walked back to the restaurent there the manager told us to wait a while , then zhun zhun 8pm he say ok got seats liao .

Went in he ordered the buffet food selections for us , then came my 八宝茶.

八宝茶is a special blend of eight ingredients. Eight Treasures Tea is a great thrist quencher and it has medicinal properties that help to decrease body heat, promote digestion, induce appetite and relieve fatigue.
Other names:Ba Bao Cha
Ingredients:Chrysanthemum, Tropaeolum, Honeysuckle, Dried Lemon Peel, Dried Tangerine Peel, Haw, Medlar, Rock Sugar.

We had the half chicken soup and half 麻辣汤 as soup base , then we started cooking , The 麻辣 is OMG de lor , whole mouth swollen.
U finish wad u ordered , u can order again , but i think got time limit 3 hrs if i am not wrong .
We keep ordering 金针菇.

金针菇 - The "Golden Needle" mushroom also helps to increase our immunity to fight allergies, viral infections and cancer. According to Professor Chua Kaw Yan who is researching this mushroom, the stalk of the mushroom contains a large quantity of a protein which interacts with the cells in our immune system resulting in production of a number of cytokines that are responsible for the regulation of our immune functions.

Those pp who like prawns , yes they have prawns too , but me and my gf not prawn lovers so gave it a miss .
Then came the moment i was waiting for , to see the waiter pour the water from the long long thingy from far far away in to my tea cup .

Conclusion , through years of practices , u will normally perform better . haha.

In consideration about the age of the 2 different candidates , age may play a part too .

Example picture of the guy with the long long thing , though not the actual person


After eating , there was desert , u could choose ice - cream or mix fruits.
My gf thinking after eating so much we should eat mix fruits , i fark care just asked for ice cream
In the end the MIX FRUITS turn out to be

PSLE Maths ?


Amazing Answer ^^

Answer to Triangle Puzzle

Solution The slanting upper edge of the upper figure is not a straight line. It is made up of two lines that meet where they touch area C. This edge bends downward, so the area of the figure is 32. For the lower figure, the slanting upper edge is also made up of two lines that meet where they touch area C. This edge bends upward so the area of the figure is 33. The difference accounts for the hole.
The hypotenuses of triangles A and B have different slopes, therefore, both upper and lower 5x13 figures are quadrilaterals, not a triangles. The triangles A and B have areas of 12 and 5 and the other two pieces have areas of 7 and 8. The total area of the four pieces is 32 for each of two the figures. If the upper figure is rotated 180° and moved over the lower figure as shown below, the resulting rectangle has an area of 65. This is twice the area of 32 for the four pieces plus the area of the hole.

Triangle Puzzle

The two figures shown below are divided into four parts. The upper figure has two triangles, A and B, and two L-shaped areas, C and D. The lower figure has the same four parts arranged in a different order. Both figures have a width of 13 and a height of 8. However there is also a 1-by-1 hole in the lower figure. Where did the extra space come from?

Fame is for insecure people.

Fame does not = wealth
Fame + Rich does not = Happy

Wealthy+ not famous = Peaceful Life = As close to happiness as you're ever going to get!

Why god created Dinosaur?

Yes yes one of those strange questions which i asked myself , why god created dinosaur ? Did they really die because of the ICE AGE ? Are dragons in fact Dinosaur ?

So i went to do some research.

"All animals, including the first dinosaurs, were created to benefit mankind in one way or another.

God's exact purpose for the various dinosaurs is still a mystery. Perhaps the larger dinosaurs kept certain types of lush plant life under control and cleared paths through the forest. Using their long necks, some dinosaurs could have eaten foliage at the tops of tall trees. In a thick forest, this would let light come down to the ground so smaller plants would have a chance to grow.

God brought many animals to Adam for his personal inspection; the dinosaurs may have been included. God watched to see what Adam thought of all these wonderful creatures. He waited while Adam made up a name for each one (Genesis 2:19). Each new animal must have been an interesting surprise, displaying their Creator's power and creativity.

Why did God invent so many different kinds of beautiful, interesting and surprising animals? Perhaps because He wanted to delight Man with His power, wisdom and love.
Part of God's purpose for creating the particular types of dinosaurs that become very large was surely to impress Man. Dinosaurs showed the great power of the Creator. No matter how big these creatures got, Adam knew God was always far greater. God designed every part of them, right down to the smallest cell. Even the largest dinosaur was like an obedient puppy in God's wise, powerful hands." Source - http://www.christiananswers.net/

Job 40:15-24
15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.1Bible Commentary 15 There is no consensus from Bible translators and commentators as to what animal the passage of Job 40:15-24 is describing. Some commentators have suggested behemoth is a hippopotamus or elephant. Others have suggested the crocodile or maybe some extinct animal2 such as a dinosaur. The name behemoth, meaning gigantic or colossal beast, does not clearly identify this animal. Therefore it is necessary to interpret the word behemoth in relation to its sentence and context. This is one of the principles of Bible interpretation. It means that the context will almost always tell you a great deal about the word.11 The description given of behemoth is one of the very few detailed descriptions of animals found in the Bible. To identify behemoth we need to consider the characteristics it bears in the description given of it. Most Bible translators and commentators who have carefully considered and deeply investigated the characteristics have concluded that of all animals living today, either the elephant, or hippopotamus or river-horse, is the animal in question. On comparing the characteristics between these two, the balance is considerably in favour of the hippopotamus. But even here there are still some difficulties, as there are some parts of the description which do not well suit even the hippopotamus.2 Another animal suggested has been the crocodile. However this animal fits less the description of behemoth than the elephant and hippopotamus. If none of the three main candidates clearly fit the description of behemoth then consideration should be given to animals now extinct that may have lived in Job's time. While the dinosaur has been mentioned as a candidate for the behemoth, some commentators have rejected this possibility on the assumption that dinosaurs and man were never contemporary, according to evolutionary presuppositions. The popular evolutionary theory with regard to dinosaurs is that they became extinct about 65 million years before man "evolved". However this theory would appear inconsistent and contradictory with the biblical account of species origin. In verse 15, God says that He made Behemoth at the same time that He made man, "which I made with thee". This is consistent with the Genesis account that man and animals were made in the same day (Gen. 1: 24-27). In Mark 10:6 Jesus affirmed that mankind has existed "from the beginning of the creation", which certainly excludes the notion that dinosaurs became extinct millions of years before man appeared upon the planet. While the word "dinosaur" does not appear in the Bible, there is a good reason for it. The King James Version (KJV) was translated in 1611, before the first fossils of dinosaurs were found in 1820 and before the invention of the word "dinosaur" meaning "terrible lizard" in 1841. Most modern translations of the Bible were written by people who believe that dinosaurs lived millions of years ago. Notwithstanding this, the Bible does include some 37 references to dragons and 6 of these are with known animals. The Bible also has 2 references to "fiery flying serpents" that sound like ancient descriptions of pterodactyl or other flying dinosaurs (Isa. 14:29, 30:6).5 Thus, to determine behemoth's identity this commentary will look at all the animals which may have been alive in Job's day with regard to the physical descriptions given in Job 40: 15-24. The first clue to the identity of the behemoth is that he ate grass like an ox. A study of stomachs of elephants reveals they ate mainly grasses (9,148 pounds worth) rather than material from trees, shrubs or herbs, which accounted for only 1,147 pounds worth. They also ate material from reeds and sedges in swamps.8 The hippopotamus which inhabits the rivers of Africa and the lakes of Ethiopia is herbivorous feeding on grass, vegetables and roots of trees, but never on fish; lays waste whole plantations of the sugar-cane, rice, and other grain.2 Crocodiles being carnivorous do not eat grass like an ox. The largest sauropod dinosaurs were herbivorous.16 The behemoth's strength was in its loins. The word loins is mothen, which is the waist or the small of the back. The word rendered "navel" derives from the Hebrew term sharir. Scholars have suggested that the term originally meant "firm, hard," hence, denoted "the firm parts of the belly". Therefore this animal is described as a very strong animal with a muscular belly. In other words, it was very powerful in the mid-section of its body.3,10 This description does not fit the elephant whose strength is in his neck, head, and tusks, not in his “belly.” In fact, he is most vulnerable in the abdominal region.7 The sauropod dinosaur with its very large mid-section stands out as the most likely of the candidates to fit this description. The strength of crocodiles does not emanate from their "loins."17 Behemoth tails were so long, thick and powerful that God compared them to cedars: one of the largest and most spectacular trees of the ancient world. In the Middle East, there are several species of trees that would qualify for "cedar" status. Basically, any juniper-like tree can be called a cedar. However, the tree most likely referred to is the famous well-known species called "Cedrus libani", or "cedar-of-Lebanon," a beautiful and stately tree that grows in the Middle East. These trees can be quite large. The tree can attain heights greater than 40 meters with a diameter greater than 3 meters. What land creatures do we know of today that have tails the size of a cedar tree? The elephant's tail is like that of the hog, whilst the hippopotamus tail is a little 6-8 inch stubby appendage. The only creatures known to us today that had tails as big as a cedar tree were the largest of the known dinosaurs.2,12 Another clue is that the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. The word "stones" comes from the Hebrew pachad. Pach is a plate, and as a verb, pachad is to be startled or make to shake the plates on its backbone. The most recent portrayals of the stegosaurus show it shaking the plates on it's backbone in a most fearful way.618 The word "bones" is translated from "etsem", which means the body, substance. "Strong pieces" is translated from "aqhiyq", which means, containing. The word "aqhiyq" has a play on a riverbed or valley of a stream, in the sense that the riverbed is strong to hold the river. The body of this creature is a strong as brass, and would need to be if it were as big as a dinosaur. The second time "bones" is used it is "gerem", which is the skeleton. The skeletal structure of this large beast is as strong as bars of iron. Only a very large animal would need these strong bones to support its sheer bulk.10 Crocodiles don't have bones like iron bars.19 Chief is translated from the word reshiyth which means, first in rank, time, or order. Ways is translated from derek, which is a road as trodden, a course of life.10 The behemoth was the largest and strongest of all land animals.

The hippopotamus is third in line among the larger varieties of earth’s creatures, being surpassed by both the elephant and the rhinoceros. He is not the “chief” in the modern world, much less the ancient one.7 No power of man or beast could overcome the behemoth. This cannot be said of the elephant which is sometimes regarded as a docile, sagacious animal relatively easily tamed and frequently occurring in exhibitions of wild beasts. The habits of the hippopotamus or river-horse will not permit him to be tamed. Both the elephant and hippopotamus are naturally quiet animals; and never interfere with the grazing of others of different kinds unless they be irritated. The text indicates that no man could approach the behemoth with a sword. Yet the hippopotamus was hunted frequently and captured successfully by the Egyptians. Egyptian pharaohs took pride in slaying a hippopotamus. Egyptians even celebrated festivals known as "Harpooning the Hippopotamus" Additionally, Egyptian monuments frequently picture single hunters attacking the hippo with a spear. How could one accurately compare the unapproachable and unseizable behemoth with the hippopotamus?20 God alone can overcome the behemoth, and God alone could make his sword approach to him.2 The dinosaur has become extinct whilst elephants, hippopotamus and crocodiles are very much with us today. Job and his contemporaries probably saw other kinds of animals that are now extinct, eg the unicorn (Job 39:9), due to the earth's more rigorous climate and vastly depleted resources after the Flood. Imagine what quantities of food and water would have been required to feed and sustain the largest dinosaurs!20 Being a herbivore the behemoth posed no threat to the beasts of the field. While they played in the hills the behemoth ate grass and possibly other vegetation. A sauropod dinosaur with its long neck would have had little difficulty finding food from trees like the giraffe does today. The description of the behemoth's habitat being in the mountains does not fit in well with the known habitat of the hippopotamus. The hippopotamus is seldom found far from the rivers where he has his chief residence.2 The crocodile are not land-dwelling creatures; nor do they feed upon the mountains. 21 A certain habit of the behemoth was lying under the shady trees concealed by the reeds and fens. The shady trees is a translation of se'elim, believed to be a kind of lotus. Reeds and fens are found in swampy areas. The behemoth was also apparently an aquatic animal. The elephant retreats to the depths of the forest during the hot part of the day, not marshy areas. The hippopotamus stays in the deeper water, whereas the behemoth stays under the trees on the bank.9 The hippopotamus inhabits the rivers of Africa and the lakes of Ethiopia and does not wander far from water.2 Crocodiles do not venture far from water. Dinosaurs also frequented water spots.22 The shady trees cover behemoth with their shadow. The willows of the brook compass him about. This further describes behemoth as a swamp dwelling creature, which fits in well with the known habits of the crocodile and dinosaur. The hippopotamus described as a river horse, sleeps in reedy places. 23 From the mention of Jordan it is probable that the behemoth was once an inhabitant of the mountains, marshes, and woods of the land of Palestine.2 The word "drinketh" is derived from "ashaq", which means to press upon. The word "hasteth" is derived from "chaphaz", which means to start up suddenly. What is being said here is that though the river should swell with floodwaters, Behemoth is not worried about it. This animal is so huge he could drink up a river. His sheer bulk will keep him put, while the flood surges around him.10 One reason he didn't need to hurry was that his massive size insured he need not fear any animal who also would have approached the river to drink. A very large dinosaur is probably the only animal which fits this description.24 The behemoth looks at the sweeping tide, and defies it. The very narrow elongated neck and small head of the sauropod dinosaur would have enabled them to pierce their nose through snares. It is difficult to picture the elephant, hippopotamus or crocodile fitting this description. Although the behemoth was obviously vegetarian, its size was overwhelming. Its hips were built to withstand the enormous force of each pounding step and its midsection was a mass of muscle. Its gigantic tail extended far behind, not unlike a giant cedar tree swaying behind its body. Its bones were built like steel girders with ribs like iron bars to support his enormous weight. Surely this was the greatest among the creatures ever to roam the swamps and rivers of the earth. The animal that most clearly satisfies the description of behemoth would be the sauropod dinosaur, Diplodocus or Apatosaurus. The other three animals considered, the elephant, hippopotamus and crocodile, do not satisfy all the physical and behavioural characteristics ascribed to the behemoth.

Jealousy

What is Jealousy ?

Jealousy typically refers to the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that occur when a person believes a valued relationship is being threatened by a rival. This rival may or may not know that he or she is perceived as a threat.

It is important to distinguish jealousy from envy.
To oversimplify, jealousy is angry, envy is wistful.
Jealousy is destructive, envy rarely is.
Jealousy is Insecurity.
Insecurity means a lack of security. It does not imply that the insecure person is bad, or good.
It simply means that the person is not secure, either in themselves or their relationship.
e.g., is uncertain or in danger.

In some cases, the insecurity is not founded on realistic dangers to the relationship. If that is really the case, then you (the jealous partner) may wish to consider where your insecurities are coming from. Solving those sorts of insecurities isn't easy, but until you do you'll continue to face those feelings.
Since we tend to become more secure in relationships as they become more stable with time, time is your ally in dealing with jealousy.

This article for those woman who dun understand MAN !!!

What a man says and what he does are often times two different things. A relationship with a man is all about being able to ‘tell’ what he means even if he is not saying it aloud.

A man is going to tell you he doesn’t need a ROM to tell him he is involved with u, and to be involved in a commitment. He wants to keep the relationship the way it is already. What the man is really telling you is that yes, he loves you but he is scared. Most often, a man is not going to get married to prove that he loves you, he already does or he wouldn’t be with you. A man is never gonna get married and take that final step in commitment Unless
  1. He is happy with the understanding and the relationship that you 2 are having.
  2. He is sure he's able to provide for you and to protect you.(though i have seen too many cases where the man has problem providing for himself less alone his wife and kids yet still got married-This is wad we normally known as Shot Gun cases)
A man who is online all the time, and who is involved with chatting with girls tells you it is just for fun, and that you should trust him more because what harm could come from chatting online. He wants to continue chatting online with women and he wants you to stop bothering his life. The reality of what a man is telling in you in this situation is that he is talking with someone online and sharing his life with someone online. He knows it is wrong, but you are not going to be able to tell him what to do or how he should be doing it. A man is going to continue chatting online because he feels the challenge of the woman on the other end of the line, and loves the new attention he is getting from her.

The man in your life is constantly telling you to get a job, that you need to be more supportive. What this man is really trying to tell you is that he can’t support all of your needs and his. He feels that for the relationship to work, you need to take an active role in bringing in the money and paying for some of the bills as well. The man in your life could be afraid that you are depending on him just too much and that you should get out there and make new friends, even if they are friends you meet at work.

A man who hits a woman, and then tells you he is sorry and didn’t mean it is really lying. A man, that is abusive, is going to continue to be abusive. The abusive man wants to feel power and control in the relationship. The man who can’t control his feelings is likely to never change, unless you are able to change the reason why he hit you to start with. Your best option is to run from this relationship no matter what the cost or pain you feel.(My female friends who have boyfriends who hit you, 2 words of advice from me LEAVE HIM)

When a man tells you that his family is very important to him and that you need to back down from his mother he is really telling you that he would choose his mother over you. While he might tell you it is going to be easier to get along if you were to change, he is really telling you that no matter what you do you are never going to please her, so you will have to change your ways to be a part of the family. In reality if the family can’t accept who you are and how your life is, you shouldn’t be a part of that family. It will only lead to ongoing grief and frustration in your life.

A man who is constantly working late, and calls to tell you he will be late again. If his paycheck never changes, or when you call the office and he doesn’t answer, the man is really telling you that he is not coming home right now and he has better things to do than to spend time with you. If you are always sitting at home, wondering where your man is, and he tells you he is working late all the time and can’t make time for important matters, you need to move on in life because nine times out of ten he is cheating on you.

A man feels there is nothing wrong with having women friends. Most times this is going to be the case, and a woman friend is not going to be a problem. However, if your man is telling you that he just likes hanging out with this one woman he knows, it is likely he is cheating on you. He may not be having sexual relations with her, but he is cheating on you because he is giving his attention to her. He is cheating on you by being there for her and not for you when you need him most. He will tell you he is not cheating on you, but when he sticks up for her again and again, you know there is an intimacy level there that should not be.

Was talking to Daren , found some of his quotes rather interesting,
"A morning of awkwardness is far better than a night of lonliness"
So True LOL

Birdy Sex ?

Was bored today as usual , Was looking at the window and i saw this 2 birds flying strangely in the air , confused and troubled , i went to check out weird behaviours of birds , guess wad i found out , they were having sex ! Known as cloacal kiss .

This is wad i found .

"Hormones from the pituitary gland are the answer. During breeding season in response to the hormones, the male's testes become several hundred times larger than normal to produce sperm, with the left testis usually larger. The female bird's ovaries also enlarge during breeding season to produce the ovum. Female birds usually only have one functional ovary, the left one.

In birds, an ovum is fertilized in the female bird's oviduct by a sperm cell from the male bird. Once fertilized, the ovum becomes the nucleus of the egg. The egg, that has its own food source, the yolk, will be laid by the female into her nest, incubated, and then the baby bird will hatch.
But how does the sperm from the male bird get into the female? How can they have intercourse without any external male organs, such as a penis? The male's sperm, produced in the testes, passes to the cloaca where it is stored until copulation (act of sex). The female also has a cloaca that leads from the ovaries. The female bird unfans her tail, moves it to one side while the male climbs up onto her back or gets close to her. Their cloacas are pressed together and the sperm moves from the male to the female. This act is called a cloacal kiss.

The sperm is stored by the female for at least a week, in some species over a hundred days. Then as each ovum from the ovary moves into the oviduct, it gets fertilized with the stored sperm, producing a clutch of many eggs, all with the sperm from that one cloacal kiss.
There are a few species of birds where the males do possess a retractable penis that can be pulled back into the bird. These birds include ostriches, cassowaries, kiwis, swans, geese, and ducks. Since waterfowl sometimes make love while in the lake or pond, the penis helps ensure that the sperm is not washed away by the water.
Sperm can be transferred from male cloaca to the female in a blink of an eye - less than a second. Some birds seem to want to linger longer though, sometimes having sex for more than an hour! And, although it is not necessary to copulate frequently since the sperm is stored within the female, remember those hormones are still making the birds excited. Many pairs of birds will mate numerous times within a few days."

Interesting right , intercourse which is less than a blink of an eye , so fast you will never knew who the rapist was LOL
