The Fanciest Bird in the World: Superb Lyrebird
This guy really shakes his tail feathers (his song is impressive too).
More at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s All About Fancy Males interactive feature:
What’s happening: The male Superb Lyrebird (Menura novaehollandiae) puts the many ways to be fancy together in dazzling fashion. On a carefully cleared patch of the forest floor, he begins the courtship display by fanning elaborate tail plumes over his head and quivering them to achieve a shimmering effect. He then coordinates a precisely timed song-and-dance sequence, and finishes off with a rapid-fire recital of songs borrowed from other species. When the evolutionary pressure to impress mates is at its strongest, the results can look and sound downright bizarre.
