Sufficient if we just consider birds, of course. But what do we discuss here? It started with the
"There are plenty of species which are well documented to have monogamous relationships"
claim and all I see is birds and birds.
Edit: thanks for finally answering below my question "how much in percents is that "plenty of species"?" Your answer is "90% of birds." The rest of discussion would have been unnecessary, especially quoting some three specific birds as the answer. I also agree with yours "the average sexual behaviors across all species doesn't give you much insight."
