What kind of jerks were punishing birds for masturbating? Let animals do their thing, they didn't ask to share a planet with humans and our weird maladaptive behaviours

I got morbidly curious about this and went digging through bird communities one day.

On one hand it seems like there are a difficult number of different things that will randomly prompt birds to just start fucking themselves. Everything from not putting them in isolation whenever they do it to unknowingly touching them anywhere but on the head. It's like a whole thing you have to learn all their triggers and watch for them because they'll goon so hard they die of stress.

On the other hand, why are we putting animals in captivity that goon themselves to death if you don't give them a mate? Seems kind of cruel compared to other animals that we've domesticated
