A video of a mating dance by the rare species of birds, superb bird of paradise has gone viral on the Internet and Twitterati is super amused. The bird is seen dancing in an interesting rhythm flaunting its beautiful wings and swirling its colourful tail in an attempt to charm a female from its community.
The 17-seconds video has been posted by IFS officer Susanta Nanda with the caption, "Passion stimulates. Love intoxicates. Superb bird of paradise has an unusually low population of females. This explains one of the most elaborate courtship display in the avian world."
People flooded the post with all sorts of reactions. ''OMG!!! Why can’t humans learn from the birds?'' wrote a Twitter user. ''Its looks like neon lighting show by a male bird for attracting her for a date, perhaps I should also try it in front of my girlfriend,'' joked another. ''Very beautiful video of bird ,this is the gift giving by Mother Nature.Thanks to Nature Mother,'' wrote another user.
The female birds in the superb bird of paradise species are extremely low in numbers compared to their counterparts, so the competition for the male birds to find a partner for mating is high.
According to the reports, these birds are endemic to New Guinea and are found only in the island’s far-western Vogelkop region. Researchers renamed the bird as the superb bird of paradise owing to its bouncy “smiley face” dance routine.
