Some of your friends think you've flown the coop because you're an odd bird who is constantly challenging the commonly accepted rules of relationships. You don't believe in silly notions like who's-supposed-to-ask-out-who and you probably find traditional gender roles to be tres passe. Turns out many of our fine, feathered friends share your flair for the unexpected. The male phalarope sits on the nest and takes care of the young while the female goes off in search of food. Then there's the female bowerbird, who chooses her beau based on how well he's decorated his "bachelor pad" (ahem, nest) with small objects such as colorful leaves, feathers, snail shells and dead spiders. Even though your idea of romance may seem quirky to some--you're more likely to take a date to a protest rally than to prom--you're guaranteed to always keep 'em guessing!
