Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Laughing kookaburras don’t need a gender reveal party; the sex of their offspring is almost always determined by the order in which the eggs are laid and whether or not the parents had any helpers. The first-laid eggs are almost always male, and the second are almost always female. Nests that have helpers are also far more likely to produce males than those without.
