calls from a male at the display arena.
Observation details
Male seen at display arena, doing a full display 5 times for as many as 2 females. Absolutely incredible! The coolest bird thing I've ever seen, I could barely stifle laughter the first time. Displays include wing flicks, bill wipes, and preening underwings. On ground would eat/pick at food (?), preceding display with tucked posture and 45 degrees up then 45 degrees down, before it would spread its full circle skirt and shuffle dance rapidly shaking head side-to-side with spatulate head wires shook in front of head.
