These adorable songbirds tap dance their way into prospective mates' hearts. ValentinesDay LoveFactually
Blue-capped cordon-bleu songbirds know how to bust a move like Fred Astaire. The birds belt out some dulcet tones, stick some nesting material in their beak, bob up and down — and rhythmically tap their feet.. High-speed video revealed the behavior, which had gone unnoticed in previous studies.
And every Fred needs a Ginger: While males typically sing showier songs, both sexes displayed equally elaborate dance moves and upped the ante when on the same perch as a partner. Sounds and vibrations from such dance duets may serve as a form of flirtatious communication, the researchers suspect. Watch male and female blue-capped cordon-bleu songbirds perform courtship routines first in real time and then in slow motion.
