An uplifting male-led rom-com suggesting that we might be a bit more like birds than we realise. Simon Selwood is an academic expert on the monogamous sexual behaviour of birds, but hopeless at finding human love. Then he meets Kim, and something at last is more important to him than ornithology. Kim doesn't give a hoot about birds. And at first she isn't very interested in Simon either. Relying on what he has gleaned from observing the opportunistic pied flycatcher and other species, plus the unorthodox advice of old friend Phil, Simon sets out on a mission to discover love for himself. But will he make the right choice The Mating Behaviour of Birds takes a light-hearted look at the battle of the sexes, drawing on the surprising parallels between the courtship behaviours of humans and birds.
