Media notes
Copulation
Observation details
2 observed foraging next to each other, 1 (female) would sort of tip its head down raising tail into the air, after a couple times doing this the male mounted female and copulated. He seemed to take a few seconds trying to get into position, then once balanced on top of the female, they commenced copulation. Once complete the male awkwardly moved off the female and appeared to puff out chest and walk tall while the female walked off in a more normal position, puffing up and shaking feathers and tail, showing off orangey/cinnamon coloring on rump.
