It is not always easy to approach someone you like. Courting can seem like a terrifying thing. And as it turns out, humans are not the only ones that feel that way. Take a look at this adorable video featured below! Competing to get the attention of someone you are interested in takes a lot of hard work. These little birds know exactly what I am talking about, and boy are they working hard!
These male blue manakins are giving it their best shot at impressing a female manakin. They put on a beautiful show where they not only sing, but also dance to show off their skills to their potential mate. All the female has to do is relax and enjoy the performance put on solely for her!
The female is brown and non-descript looking, while the males are bright blue with a red spot on their head. They are really beautiful, but they still have to work and compete to get the attention of the female. All six line up on a branch and take turns flying in front of her, and the most amazing part is that they move to the back of the line and start all over again!
Occasionally one of the birds hops on to a higher branch, perhaps hoping to catch her eye. But to no avail. One seems to give up and drop out at one point, only to hop back into the lineup and try again. I must say, she looks totally disinterested in all of them.
These poor birds must be exhausted! I hope one of them manages to attract her attention. They deserve it.
