I observed one of the funniest displays ever a few days ago.

One of the young females was being courted by 2 males. Instead of playing hard to get like most do, she did a little dance for them both that I can only describe as "Twerking".

I almost choked to death laughing. (Spit a mouth full of beer into the air)
My wife and I laughed for about an hour....

Funny little birds.....

Funnt but I do tend to name some of them.

I have "The dragon lady" for he r propensity for bringing in large dragon flies to the nest.

Then there is "Alice", after The Honeymooners since she constantly nags her male everytime he lands.

There is "The cougar" an Adult Female who has a thing for the Subadult males.

And, now Miley.....

This brid thing it too much fun sometimes.

Thanks for the reply.
