Watch as a male Magnificent Riflebird shape-shifts into a black ovoid and mesmerizes a female by whipping his iridescent blue neck back and forth. Filmed by Ed Scholes, Tim Laman, and Eric Liner in August of 2009 in the Bird's Head Peninsula of western New Guinea.

How the bird knows what the color combinations are on its feathers and uses them in a dance coordination is beyond understanding and facinating. Who knows what other surprises nature has in store for us nowadays.🧐

How much do you want to bet that toothless’s dance in how to train your dragon 3 was inspired by this
so adorable love it! keep it up, anyways enjoyed watching here, looking forward to see more
I love how the female at the beginning is like "Hey, I can do that too!"
Imagine if humans got mates by dancing like that. I know if a guy walked up to me with his arms stretched out and his head flailing side to side I'd be like nope. Birds don't have such qualms.
