25 Birds With The Best Mating Dances In The World

Hey, yes you, have you ever seen a bird of paradise dancing for a female before? No, not this one I’m talking about the real-life birds of paradise. These guys don’t mind letting loose to woo a female. Likewise, once grown, many species of birds find themselves overwhelmed with the primal urge to bust a move. Some would even gather in leks, just like in nightclubs, to dance and pique the interest of nearby females. While others simply perform feats of endurance and strength to prove they’re worthy mates. And in other birds, both the male and female dance together as a pair while putting on a show. Without wasting any more time, we present you with a sampling of the best bird mating dances out there. Watch, learn, and you could even take a few notes

All these gorgeous birds make this Planet a marvelous place of Life !. And human activities are polluting all these marvels.

Exemples of real young love. We need much more of these examples to inspire us humans as well...

The clip at 15:40 is hilarious considering that's a Victorian Crowned Pigeon, an entirely different species, probably thinking, "What the eff are you displaying at me, for, she's right over there!"

What this has revealed to me is that indigenous human communities learn their traditional dances from the local bird species. I saw the Kenyan Masai hop dance, the Native American pow wow dance, etc.

Super! These guys still work for the girls & the love!!!❤❤❤

[naturequeene]

Does anyone else feel bad for the males who didn’t impress the females? They did their best!! 😢

[TheArtfulAddict]

Birds have the most amazing courtship displays! Is it just me, or did we only get a small part of the display for #1 in the countdown? It cut off after he added berries, and there is much more to that birds courtship display.. Also, portion of the screen was covered up with promoting the next video. That was a real bummer.

wide variety of the birds make the earth more beautiful❤❤❤

The Great Argus Pheasant doing the mating dance to the Blue Crowned Pigeon XDDD....he a little confused but he got the spirit.

[UnicornFairy]

Birds have different ways of showing affection for their loved ones. 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝

The jumping ones looked like fleas when they all did it together 🤣 this is why I love birds. They are such amazing creatures 🤩

[lenazaia]

Bald eagles are the lion of the sky. They are magnificent birds.😍😍😍😍

[OnlineMD]

Outstanding video! Must have taken painstaking videography, editing, and narrating. Most appreciated!

[ME-hmtc]

It's crazy to think that birds are technically a branch of dinosaurs known as non-avian dinosaurs. So, imagine triceratops or spinosaurus dancing like this to court a mate XD.

[dreamerme]

That bald eagle courtship is one of those bird behaviors that makes me really remember that birds are descended from dinosaurs
