My personal experiences have found women to be territorial, which is positive or negative, depending on which side of her borders you reside.

Sounds like you are describing dogs.

When a woman is near the end of her pregnancy, people notice that she begins cleaning the house, rearranging furniture, etc.. Many books refer to that as "nesting". Women can be nesting without being referred to as birds, women can be territorial without being referred to as dogs.
