I thought this was kinda funny so i wanted to post this but when a single female Antbird arrives next to a mated pair of Antbirds the male will start flirting with her with his musical song and so the mated female ''wife'' who's getting mad and/or jealous sings over him to confuse the nearby female from hearing him. So thinking he's sly he then will change to another song so the single female can hear him again and then the female mate (his wife) will overide him again with her own to confuse the single female again as this had me thinking how these birds can be just like us humans at times as even the researchers noted that .

Story for those interested.
