I thought that today would be a good day to step out in a little different way from our usual Dawn Chorus fare, so I’m sharing some enlightening, interesting and fun videos for your enjoyment.
You may have seen this first video before since it’s been widely shared. It’s a fascinating look at the mating dance of one of the many amazing species of Birds of Paradise found in New Guinea. If you haven’t seen it before, it’s a feast for the eyes.
This next video is a glimpse at the intricate and phenomenal courtship dance between a pair of grebes who literally walk and dance on the water. I never tire of watching these. Though I’ve never gotten to witness this display in person, many birders have. Lucky for us, there’s video to share.
Finally, here’s a bit of fun with a video compilation of some birds acting out in lots of different ways, with lots of dancing, singing, talking and abundant goofiness from some birds who are real characters. Enjoy and make us of the comments as an open thread for today.
