Owls are the only species of bird - or at least one of the only documented bird species - that mate more than strictly necessary for procreation. They mate for the fertilization, and then... er, well, keep going over a period of days. The ornithology book that explained this added, I assume for purposes of dry humor, that it was unknown why they waste energy in such a manner, since the act of copulation takes quite a bit.

*cough*

And, uh, now you know.
