That is my point, what is being called morality in the animal kingdom is simply instinct.
To say that a pair of birds that mates for life is moral means nothing.
That is not morality, it is an instinctual display of duty and loyalty.
Someone said that this shows they are capable of love. In a way that's true.
But does it display the full range of human love? Would a male wood duck take a bullet from a hunter for his mate? No. His instinct of fight or flight kicks in and he takes care of himself.
But the moral human would lay his life down for his wife whom he loved. If he fled for his own safety like an animal he would be ridiculed as not being moral.

do apes feel guilt? Morality and empathy are far different. Empathy is an emotion morality checks and balances emotions.
And yes homosexuality is present in the animal kingdom. Your point?
