Dunnock
Mammas: Dunnock
2013
Synopsis
In the world of dunnocks, polyandry is the norm: one female has multiple partners. Isabella Rossellini uncovers how the mamma dunnock manages her roster of fathers.
Editorial
Humanity has its history of harems; these perching birds, however, let females rule sexual roosts. Flirting with several puppet pappas, Isabella Rossellini flecks maternal resolve with winking humor before discoursing on the limits of monogamy in an artist’s impression of a Parisian park.
