i did not know when i chose the name, but indigo buntings, a small purple-blueish bird living in the southern states, was the first bird species studied by scientists who discovered that between mating and building their nests, fooled around with other males. Before this discovery, scientists mistakenly assumed birds were in general, monogomous. Now, of course, we know that very few birds and even fewer mammals(humans included) pair-bond for life.
