Is there a biological base to sexual orientation?

A listener wrote to us to ask:
Hi! There are people who identify as e.g. bisexual, homosexual etc. Is it possible that it is also biologically linked?
What do you think?

In humans: not as far as anyone knows. Among birds: some possibility of a genetic predisposition to anomalous sexual preference (expressed as triple parenting) in some species.
