Birds Do It, Bees Do It is a 1974 American documentary film covering sexuality in the animal kingdom.

It was directed by Nicolas Noxon (a regular crewmember for National Geographic's early television specials)[1] and Irwin Rosten, and co-produced by David L.

[1] Thanks to its copulation scenes, the film was marketed with the tagline "So real it will never be shown on TV".

[1] The same scenes initially earned it an R rating from the Motion Picture Association of America; after a brief discussion between Wolper and then-MPAA chairman Richard Heffner, a few changes were made to ensure the eventual PG rating.

Gerald Fried's music earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score.
