LOL, Mouse! ;)

Mouse:
Thank you for your answer, TPC.  I found it interesting and it eased my curiosity.  So basically, the females like the small males because they are fast and "cute". ;D

Kinderchick:
Very interesting question and answer, Mouse & TPC. :)

birdcamfan:
Great question, great answer! thank you.

The Peregrine Chick:
I should mention that most sexual dimorphism favours the male - the males are larger, more colourful, have horns, antlers, etc, whatever.  In our case its called "reverse sexual dimorphism" because the difference between the genders is more pronounced in the female than in the male.
