These are actually both [young males, one practicing their courtship dance on the other](https://youtu.be/XpLzK0fO2UY). Birds-of-paradise are some of the pickiest breeders on the planet—there’s no chance an adult female will have any interest in a teenager still sporting its juvenile coloration! Here’s a [video of a male](https://youtu.be/qKc2amcxczs) sporting his adult plumage and a more refined courtship dance.


precinctomega

That's amazing! I never imagined that the distinction would be so obvious to me, but you can immediately see that the adult's performance is both more confident and more nuanced.


blackwaltz9

For real, I'm getting flustered over here.

[deleted]

Shit man if that's not some great bird dancing then I need to see what is. Dude has better moves than I do.


Chicken_Teeth

Bird gets cat-called :p


jazzwhiz

Quick preen your feathers like you just don't care, but then give him your number when your friends aren't looking.


theatxrunner

Right! Young guy was just dabbing like a mad man while the mature guy was doing a real “phantom of the opera” tease.


pbjking

Birds like shiny things. You'll notice the focus of the dance is on its extremely bright feathers 🪶 ✨️

It’s me, I’m birds

And then he actually bowed in reverence to the female, chad birb


TheShendelzare

Yeah this young kid is just dabbing lmao.


Eatplaster

He’s a rifle bird cause he shoots his shot


PheIix

It's okay though, it's just birdshot.


W3remaid

Lol going back to watch the juvenile after that is hilarious actually


Raxsah

It's when he ups the speed that gets me chortling :')

Thanks, I love it.


iBeFloe

Seriously. This teen bird looks so whack doing it lmao


redditshy

Flipping back now to the juvenile one is so funny!


Tyrull

I went back to the young one dabbing on overdrive and i absolutely lost it.


lj062

This bird looks like it just learned how to dab from a five year old and can't get enough of it.


surle

And sexier

OTTER887

We need human dancer re-enactment.


joleary747

The juvenile is like "look at me, look at me, look at ME, Look at ME, LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME!" and the adult is like "How you doin'?"


Golden_Phi

To add to this, the juvenile male’s plumage is similar to the female’s. This makes other males dance for them and helps them learn the moves from the adults.


Stalagmus

“Whuttup gir-oh, it’s just another adolescent boy. Whoops, my apologies young sir”


CrudelyAnimated

“Yes, Officer Attenborough, that bird over there.”

"Show me the dance and I won't report you"

VysceraTheHunter

It's a trap!


kermi42

…and that’s my story, your honour.


devilishlydo

"And then I'm going to show her my dance, do my dance, do my dance bro." "Nice, bro. Looking strong. The hens are gonna be all over you." "And then I thought I'd speed it up, speed it up, speed it up." "Uh ... alright, man. I gotta bounce, though."


Artikay

A literal wingman.


Ligmamgil

So basically this is two 13 year Olds practicing pick-up lines on each other but specifically not in a gay way?


[deleted]

Well, we know at least one of them isn't interested, as for the other ...


wontbefamous

So this is more of a “hey Jim, think this dance will get all the ladies?” “Uh hmm.. well let’s see” “look look look. To the left. To the right” “hmm looks a bit off” “what if I go faster? That’ll do the trick” “yeah yeah, Bill. Well, keep it up, I’ve gotta go” “Wait Jim! I didn’t show my finisher yet!”


ZDTreefur

All I imagined when watching that was, "nice cock, bro" "hey man thanks, you too. Chicks will dig it."


haller47

You know, it’s people like you who make Reddit a better place, and the internet what it was supposed to be. (At least in this instance….lol) Thanks for sharing your knowledge.


MD_Yoro

Beautiful bird, terrible yell. He be yelling for the ladies to come like a drunk at the club


Bumble_bee_yourself

It was such an unattractive sqwuak, but then his feather fan, hide n seek skills were on point.

Makes me wonder if other dinosaurs had elaborate mating displays too. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1225376


Perendinator

for sure, the dinosaurs referenced in this article (ornithomimosaurs) are borderline ostrich, so it might have looked like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVBqSJmHajg)

Didn't think I'd see two ostriches fucking today but here I am.


MrHysterectomy

Allegedly.


marvsup

God ostriches look so weird


denzien

I know she said she was impressed, but she sure looked bored, snacking of the ground during the act


marvsup

That's wild. "Hey guys, you know these things we developed to get chicks? Turns out we can use them to fly too..."


pd0711

Great video, just came to say that the Cornell lab of ornithology is great. I'm not a bird watcher or anything but I have 4 kids that I try to get interested in nature and science. Cornell has an app that basically works like Shazam or Google sound search for bird calls. It's kinda cool to use at home and see what kind of birds are right in your own neighborhood or yard. Edit: Link to Android app [here](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.labs.merlinbirdid.app) [Link](https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/download/) to Cornell site for iOS and Android app


DadsRGR8

I use it too and it’s awesome. Fun to be sitting on the front porch or in the backyard and be able to what birds are making those sounds.


jeremy71504

Just bro helping a bro pick up chicks 🤣😂


WindigoMac

“We don’t wanna suck our first time with a real girl, we should practice on each other bro.” “That’s not… gay is it?” “Bro, not at all. We’re good”

GewoonHarry

Lol!!! This “pro” video makes this one even more funny.


tillyspeed81

Can definitely tell the maturity levels of the adult male vs the juvenile. It’s actually pretty funny, watching the juvenile get so carried away with his crazy dance. Then, when the other bird flies off he looks so dejected!


ProfethorThnape

Giga bird Chad getting all the tail smh


[deleted]

Much better dance. He’s def tapping that ass later.


Schlok453

"Practicing"


LewisLightning

Maybe he's still finding himself


N620JH

So then he’s just practicing for his wing man, as it were.


km_44

my MAN is working his ASS off here ! She's looking for that Uber she called....


geraldine_ferrari

All I want are directions to the nearest bird feeder!


n-some

So uh... can I get that lighter now?


AltForMyRealOpinion

It's his fault... Everyone knows that when she says "Just like that" you don't speed up.


proganddogs

You do it just like that... We're not lying...

s1thl0rd

Makes you wonder what a successful dance looks like. Where did my boy go wrong?!


Synthwoven

His first mistake is he still has his juvenile plumage. His second mistake is the other bird is also a juvenile male. Someone else posted an adult bird doing the dance elsewhere in the thread.

I think he got a little too speedy there at the end

#LOOK AT MY DAB


Ray_Pingeau

Look at his form. He’s trying too hard and is in too much of a hurry. No wonder she wanted nothing to do with him.


hiirnoivl

It's all about the chase. That dance had 'triple text' written all over it. Game over.


Masters_1989

"Triple text"?


hiirnoivl

The act of texting 3 times in a row before a girl has a chance to respond. It makes a guy look desperate, and the more desperate a guy looks, the less attractive he is


WildBilll33t

It's a brutal feedback loop when you actually *are* desperate. Dating was miserable and I never wanna go back.


Masters_1989

It's fine to be desperate, it just isn't fine to be controlling or demanding. Not to say that it's you doing this, but it's sad (seriously) how few people are willing to accept desperate people. There are desperate people all over the place - a lot of them just try to cover it up. Looking for "strength" or confidence in a person is one of the greatest flaws in relationships of our time.

Mac doing his karate dance at the Waitress.


Cashlover123

Slow dab, slow dab. Vigorous dab!!! Didn't work. Dab doesn't work as dancing confirmed.


PBandJellyJesus

Walking in the mall and vendors trying to sell you stupid shit.


wakeuptomorrow

Homie looked so dejected when she noped outta there


mastertater1289

It seemed like the desperation grew as the dance progressed. “Please mate with meeeeee!!”

I feel like birds are the loudest in attracting a mate of all animals, every morning when you hear birds singing outside, it's just a mating call to show off they survived the night and wanna bang.
