They do.

It's "nature's" way of pairing the best together, enabling long-term survival of the species & hopefully favouring the best genetic traits being passed along for future generations, hopefully ending in a permanent adaptation or evolutionary change.

This is how I ended up with an entire army of genetically superior crows that sing musicals about how messed up it is that I did that to them with forced selective breeding.
