Dinky didn't like to think about Father's Day. How could it be true that she'd never had a father?
Rated S for SCIENCE! 
At the end of the story I provide some links to articles about related science.
This story is a good excuse to donate to COVID-19 relief in India!
You can also learn about some other worthy charities through this year's Pride and Positivity 2021 event, celebrating Pride Month. Gender AND sex come up partway through this story in an unusual way. Also, there's some LGBTQ shipping.
I thank Sockpuppet for a helpful prereading.
(Sockpuppet, part of this story wanted to be T rated, so to add it to your 2021 Father's Day event, I guess I should wait until you officially relax the E-rated restriction to permit T-rated stories. )
Why does this story have the "Death" tag? Every true story in biology, if you follow it for long enough, includes a part that goes, 'and then some organisms died,' and that's always an important part of the story.
a very interesting idea you have here. and i enjoyed it
Glad to see this live! Your write great Derpy/Dinky storys and this is no exception.
All right, consider it done. I'll fix the group boilerplate next time I'm on desktop instead of iPhone.
Some birds do it too - and the funky part?
From what I understand, they actually do it without functionally cloning themselves, but can "hack" a male zygote - because, unlike with mammals, the male sex chromosomes are dominant, not the female ones. The resulting offspring are often sickly, but eventually one of them lasts long enough to reach sexual maturity, and they become the dominant male of the flock by default, allowing for more males to be born and begin the more typical methodology.
Birbs are weird. And others, but especially birbs.
I'd assumed this would be about her parents being lesbians, though it turns out there was a bit of teasing on that front.
Basic execution, but great subject material. And I quite like this take on Dinky. Thank you for a very nice read.

It's kind of hilarious how "the birds and the bees" became an expression, when you consider these links and things like them.

Ducks man. They're messed up.
