X Abstract

Male birds are apt to sing a jaunty tune and sport some pretty plumage, making them prominent targets for population studies. But a survey of bird demographics reveals that male birds generally outnumber females - dramatically so in endangered species - meaning that real population sizes could be much smaller than estimates which assume an equal sex ratio.
