Impregnating a male is quite intriguing, is it not? Some female birds have 2 to 4 males in their harem. They only lay the eggs...while the males do ALL the rest...

If the eggs are on the outside of the body is he really pregnant? I'm not sure I'd use that term. In particular I would say he gives birth. Its just a male taking care of eggs like male birds might take care of an eggs, except in this case they are attached to him. Glue an egg on to a male bird and I wouldn't say he is pregnant. Also some have argued that if the "male" is pregnant that its not really male, but since the female produces the eggs and the male fertilizes them, if this is "a pregnancy", I'd say its accurate to say the male is pregnant.
