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.[2]
Birds Do It, Bees Do It received a nomination for Best Documentary at the Golden Globes. Gerald Fried's music earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score.[1] The film was screened at the 1974 Cannes Film Festival, but did not enter the main competition.[3]
