Birds do it. Bees do it. Frogs seem to really, really want to do it, based on the volume and frequency of the mating calls. Mourning doves apparently do it a lot, judging by the fact that a third batch of babies is being raised in the nest on the garage.

Must be all that fresh country air.

judging from the welts on my body, i think mosquitos must be doing it too....and they have forego'd birth control!
