          You’re thinking of seeds.

          Pollen is only the male half of the genetic material required for sexual plant reproductin, and is the step before plants produce fruit and seeds.

          Hence, jizz.

      the sound of millions of animals desperately trying to get laid

      And yet when I do it, I’m a pervert and asked to leave the park.

      Yes and no. A lot of the sounds are mating calls, but there’s so much more being communicated.

      Some sounds are warnings, like when squirrels see a cat and start to chirp. If you watch them, you’ll see them run up a tree and pause upside down on the trunk, chirping an alert to others. Other squirrels in the area will repeat the behavior and amplify the “message” until the threat (the neighborhood cat) goes away.

      Some sounds are intended to trick others. Blue jays mimic the sounds made by birds of prey in order to scare other birds away from their feeding grounds. It works really well - I’ve seen a jay clear a whole flock of starlings from my yard before. He then swooped down and plucked a bunch of worms and bugs from the soil.

      There’s probably more, but these are just examples I’ve observed while hanging out on my porch.

        honestly i’d expect most sounds to not be mating sounds unless it’s specifically a time of year where most of the animals there are in mating season

        i think we humans tend to forget that it’s not very normal to just always be looking to bang, for most animals (and plants even) it’s done very enthusiastically at specific times.

        Jays in my area well fly around making eagle calls convincing enough to fool plenty humans (myself included). Multiple times I’ve heard that unique shriek and searched the sky for a big bird only to see a cheeky Blue Jay hopping around in a tree 🤣

        It’s also just wrong, because quite a lot of mammals and birds use sound for intraspecies communication (a la human language), echolocation is fairly common, feeding and hunting often generate sound… Sound production for mating purposes is a hefty chunk, but the joke here is pretty misleading.
