You must watch this dance, all the way through to its end!

Wiki: The long-tailed manakin (Chiroxiphia linearis) is a species of bird in the Pipridae family. It is found in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and heavily degraded former forest.

The males cooperatively practice for years the dance seen above. Only the alpha male copulates: the others don't get the opportunity until the alpha dies.

That other bird on the stick was wondering what in god's name are these birds doing?
