Masturbation among birds is ‘natural’ and should not be punished. It’s interesting how humanity has regulated its own biological behavior, we have rules for where and how to eat, sleep, defecate, urinate, menstruate, reproduce, masturbate, etc. I get that some of these came from hygiene and personal safety but still find it weird, and even weirder that some people expect birds to follow our social constructs.

Mexico had a land reform in the first half of the XX century in which land was distributed to agricultural workers, that makes many of the poor have a family member that owns a house or a small plot of land.

Extended family relations also usually result in having someone willing to take you in no matter what condition you’re in. There’s still homeless people but nothing like the US and parts of Europe
