TIL that copulation among noisy miners (an Australian bird) is a frenzied communal event, incubation is by the female only and up to twenty male helpers take care of the nestlings and fledglings
So the title info is cribbed from the Wikipedia link which I looked into after noticing a few fledglings in a park being fed by half a dozen mature birds. Very communal creatures.
