Topic Reading-Vol.1710-12/16/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Bouncing bird may be the funniest clip from Planet Earth II
It is indeed quite common and natural for a man try to get woman’s attention, seriously. Some show off their muscles or spend their fortune, others sing songs or dance at their best. In some cases, men contest or even fight.
Some of these practices are of course common among animals and birds, even usually-pacifist giraffes as shown in Vol.1695 on December 1.
You probably have witnessed male birds singing beautifully in mating season to attract females’ attention. But these little birds in the tall grasses of Kenya's Maasai Mara do those things quite differently from others. To make them visible and audible to female birds, male birds try to jump higher and sing while they are in the air because otherwise they won’t be recognized by female birds.
Enjoy seeing the video and judge which one looks and sounds most attractive.
