25 Birds With The Best Mating Dances In The World

Hey, yes you, have you ever seen a bird of paradise dancing for a female before? No, not this one I’m talking about the real-life birds of paradise. These guys don’t mind letting loose to woo a female. Likewise, once grown, many species of birds find themselves overwhelmed with the primal urge to bust a move. Some would even gather in leks, just like in nightclubs, to dance and pique the interest of nearby females. While others simply perform feats of endurance and strength to prove they’re worthy mates. And in other birds, both the male and female dance together as a pair while putting on a show. Without wasting any more time, we present you with a sampling of the best bird mating dances out there. Watch, learn, and you could even take a few notes

Imagine Dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus doing crazy things like this too ^^

[@robertvanhoutii5886]

Check out reptile mating too, it's a more similar body type

[@mr.hierkonnteihrewerbungst8555]

@@robertvanhoutii5886 not really. Tyrannosaurus was way more related to the funny guys in the video than to the dinosaurs he did hunt for.

Ever seen the animatronic show Dinosaurs? There's an episode called "the mating dance"

I love this video!!! One major thing that could make it a whole lot better--- THE SOUNDS THE BIRDS MAKE!!!!

[@Enirahtak8]

The clip at 15:40 is hilarious considering that's a Victorian Crowned Pigeon, an entirely different species, probably thinking, "What the eff are you displaying at me, for, she's right over there!"

[@vocallocal7824]

What this has revealed to me is that indigenous human communities learn their traditional dances from the local bird species. I saw the Kenyan Masai hop dance, the Native American pow wow dance, etc.

[@nmg6248]

I was thinking this too 😍

[@koreafishing8356]

Birds have the most amazing courtship displays! Is it just me, or did we only get a small part of the display for #1 in the countdown? It cut off after he added berries, and there is much more to that birds courtship display.. Also, portion of the screen was covered up with promoting the next video. That was a real bummer.

[@user-jb4zx7ju4n]

The jumping ones looked like fleas when they all did it together 🤣 this is why I love birds. They are such amazing creatures 🤩

[@massimosquecco8956]

Exemples of real young love. We need much more of these examples to inspire us humans as well...

[@brookelondon8029]

In junior high, we only "liked" the boys who could dance…

The Great Argus Pheasant doing the mating dance to the Blue Crowned Pigeon XDDD....he a little confused but he got the spirit.

[@dianestiner8602]

All these gorgeous birds make this Planet a marvelous place of Life !. And human activities are polluting all these marvels.

[@ME-hm3tc]

It's crazy to think that birds are technically a branch of dinosaurs known as non-avian dinosaurs. So, imagine triceratops or spinosaurus dancing like this to court a mate XD.

[@VenomQuill]

Triceroptops already have those frills. Imagine the males having big iridescent feather crowns on top of that, or rexes having small arms but plumage like the "hundred-eye bird".

[@brookelondon8029]

Good point!

[@ilonajurecska2503]

Super! These guys still work for the girls & the love!!!❤❤❤

Finally a narrater with a good voice! Get his name, video producers.

[@brookelondon8029]

So nice to hear narration that was not done by AI.

[@dreamerme36]

That bald eagle courtship is one of those bird behaviors that makes me really remember that birds are descended from dinosaurs

[@karphin1]

And, as usual, Canada is left out of the native areas of puffins! Here on the East Coast of Canada, puffins are beloved, and can be seen off shore, on islands and the cliffs that are on the coast of our provinces. No mention, just Scandinavian, Russian, and Alaskan areas…..but Canada has em too!

[@theseventhgeneration6910]

Proof here that KZbin listens to your conversations and creates playlists accordingly.

[@danamarvelstar]

Wow, ok I think I like the bald eagle the most because it looks like something out off a cirque du soleil show 😮

[@marcelade8a]

It would be very nice to hear the sounds they make during their courting dance 😉

[@brookelondon8029]

At the Philadelphia zoo many years ago two of the Galapagos turtles were mating. Of course it was done slowly and with every move came the most astounding groan I have ever heard. That sound has to be on the Internet somewhere!

[@poogy42]

How come you didnt show the actual dancing for your number 1 pick? It's the most impressive, the berries are just part of the stage.

[@Shastasnow]

Apparently people don’t have the attention span these day. They can get away with people reacting to the first few 🫤😅

[@klarabarunovic9841]

It seems to be abruptly cut off...

[@sheepyleepy..2806]

exactly

[@VenomQuill]

@@klarabarunovic9841 It feels like it was either mistakenly cut (because there was no outro) or there was a part two.

Outstanding video! Must have taken painstaking videography, editing, and narrating. Most appreciated!

[@naturequeene132]

Does anyone else feel bad for the males who didn’t impress the females? They did their best!! 😢

[@Chickadee777]

No, they are obviously not genetically fit enough.Therefore, they should not mate. I wish humans had to do the same.

[@naturequeene132]

@@Chickadee777 humans do the exact same thing all the time. That’s called a guy hitting on a woman and she says no. Just because that particular female wasn’t impressed by the male bird doesn’t necessarily mean he won’t mate at all, just not with that female.

[@Nova_Jan]

Most men are rejected by most women, we are no different.

[@vgil1278]

Probably young ones, learning what ladies like. They will be appreciated someday!

[@anneblack7255]

When the female bird walks away, it just means SHE wasn’t in the mood. He will have to wait until SHE is ready.

In the middle of the sequence about Sandhill Cranes, Grus canadensis, you show a clip of European Cranes, Grus grus, from about 10:46 to 10:49.

[@louisehaley5105]

4:17 - did the widow bird’s impressive jumping dance inspire the Masai to dance this way also ? Perhaps it’s because of birds, we humans have dance. Our prehistoric ancestors observed their elaborate courtship dances and imitated them in their own rituals.
