How do birds procreate?

Birds procreate through a process called mating, where a male and female engage in courtship behaviors to attract each other. During mating, the male transfers sperm to the female using a specialized structure called a cloaca, which is an opening for excretion and reproduction. Fertilization occurs internally, and the female then lays eggs, which she incubates until they hatch into chicks. The parents often care for the young until they are capable of independent survival.
