When you're talking about the birds and bees what are you talking about?

A euphemism for sexual relations
When a bird and a bee really love each other.....
Ha ha. In American culture, this phrase is a dreaded phrase for many teenagers, because typically you hear it when a parent wants to discuss sex with you. There's nothing more uncomfortable than discussing sex with your parents.
Here's my memory of when I first heard the phrase at age 13....
Mom: "Do you know how babies are made?" Me: "Yes" (extreme sullen expression) Mom: "Let me tell you about the birds and the bees" (Mom, holds up book with pictures of human anatomy)" Me: "Ugh"
The phrase Birds and Bees is talking about the one thing that all creation has in common, the necessity to procreate and continue its species It is a way to tell young children about the wonders of life and how it begins in a way that is natural and non threading both to the youngster as well as the adult.
La frase de aves y abejas está hablando de lo único que toda la creación tiene en común, la necesidad de procrear y continuar su especie es una forma de decir a los niños sobre las maravillas de la vida y la forma en que se inicia de una manera que es natural y no roscado, tanto para el joven, así como el adulto.
It refers to nature creating new life. A child's parents might use this expression when explaining where babies come from.
A baby being born: like the stork.
It means "let me tell you about sex or making love to someone."

As Dean Martin sang "let me tell you about the birds and the bees, the flowers and the trees and a thing called love" well it's all about the facts of life.
