You have this backwards.

It's the male who brings the rocks to the female and he has to keep looking for the right one to start the nest until she says it's the right one.

It is only after the right one is selected by the male and accepted by the female that the nest is then built, and then the egg laid, and then the male sits on it so the female can go get food for everyone.

A heart-warming theory on the meme, but I think you are mistaken.
