Mashup Score: 1Lyrebird synchronizes elements of its mating dance - 1 month(s) ago
To woo a mate, the Albert’s Lyrebird of Australia becomes a real song-and-dance bird. Each male first chooses a stage of entangled vines, then in performance he shakes the vines as part of his courtship footwork, synchronizing each shake with the beat of his striking song. Scientists have closely analyzed and quantitatively described this behavior among lyrebirds in the wild, work now published in The American Naturalist.

What’s “a ‘gronking’ song”? Scientists have closely analyzed and quantitatively described the courtship dance of the Albert’s lyrebird of Australia. @cornell #Birds #NaturalHistory https://t.co/jef6WTBd0z
