Female birds are able to produce more of a certain gender of birds that are more likely to survive under extreme conditions.

For females, egg production is a metabolically ...

Males may destroy clutches laid 12 days or more after their arrival, though their investment of around 60 days of parental care is large, so a high level of parental certainty is needed.
In most female mammals the average litter size is about half the number of mammae. [1] Presumably this enables females to successfully nurse litters even if some mammae fail to produce milk. Naked mole-rats break this "one-half rule" – field caught and lab born litters averaged 11 to 12 pups, and numbers of mammae on wild and captive females ...
