Aren't roosters supposed to be male?
Yes, but that doesn't mean that the creature that preceded them in their role as nature's alarm clock had to be male as well. And for that matter, we can't be 100% certain that this flyer was female; it's a reasonable assumption, but who's to say that it didn't have a mate who just happened to be somewhere else at the time? Or perhaps, in this species of flyer, it's the father who looks after the young, like in a number of bird species (jacanas, ratites, phalaropes, malleefowl [at least as far as incubation goes]). On the other hand, considering that only the mother has been present in every other flyer family we've seen in LBT, perhaps this isn't likely, but whether LBT flyers only ever practice female uniparental care or we simply don't get to see the male side of their biparental care is another subject entirely.
Ahem…Sorry about that; I'm like an argumentation bomb always primed to go off.
Uh, new caption…
A hapless flyer learns the hard way that cacti make lousy perches.
