Ah yes, you are referring to the Mating Dance of the Heterosexual Males (as seen on National Geographic.)
This spectacular and brilliant bird is a magician with a special trick.
First, he demonstrates a little flash to attract his completely platonic mate.
In the bird world, this is known as “collars up.”
Let’s watch as he works his magic.
Grabbing his potential mate’s attention (literally).
The potential mate is intrigued…
…though also a bit taken aback.
But stares, entranced nonetheless.
Eye contact is strictly maintained.
Even as the dance picks up in intensity.
Notice the potential mate’s distinct expression of confusion and arousal.
Also note the stunning blue scarf, specially chosen to catch the potential mate’s eye.
Success! It works.
He gives it all he’s got, eyes practically glowing with fervor.
The potential mate moves in tandem with him now.
He’s curious, curious. (It’s the scarf. So mysterious.)
The moment of truth is approaching.
The bird puts it all on the line with a final strut.
The potential mate looks him up and down, senses still reeling…
But alas, it appears as though the potential mate is too overwhelmed and confused by this particular bird’s beauty.
Not today, my friend. Not today.
But do try again soon…
…you were so close, after all.
