Birds reproduce through internal fertilization. Male birds transfer sperm to the female through a specialized opening called the cloaca during a behavior known as a cloacal kiss. Female birds have a unique reproductive tract with a single functional ovary and oviduct. They lay hard-shelled eggs and exhibit various mating systems and courtship behaviors.
