@@matjamesmusic i would say that you are wrong. Yes mating is driven by hormones, but its not hormones that have the "structural" information on how the brain is built. Thats the job of the DNA. The piece of DNA that specifies how the brain is built probably contains a smaller piece that hard codes that dance into their brains. Subsequently that dance is triggerd by the mating hormones. Take chickens for example. I have a farm and i incubate eggs using an artificial incubator. The small chicks know how to drink, eat, walk, flap their wings in order to get somewhere high. Who taught them that?? No one. They have these actions hard coded into their DNA and subsequently their brain.
@@dieselgeezer18 chickens being pre programmed how to eat, drink and basically look after themselves isn’t the same as a courtship dance. The desire to have and be capable of learning the courtship dance comes through dna but the actual moves are learned by younger birds watching older birds and trial and error. .the same in birds of paradise. The young males learn by watching the older males and by trial and error. This is all well documented in David Attenboroughs the life of birds dvd’s
@@happybee7725 Another great example of learned behaviors is the "apprenticeship" method used by long tailed manikins in tropical montane forests. During the breeding season, aggregations of males form groups called leks where the females select which male has the superior gene pool by their courtship presentation. They will subsequently copulate, but the females might mate with multiple males to both ensure fertilization and to combine the genes of all of the males in order to produce a genetically diverse offspring. This is a purely instinctual breeding paradigm, and they have evolved to perfect their displays to increase the chances of their genetic code being passed on to future generations. This applies to all species who exhibit lemming behavior, but the long tailed manikins have complex intraspecific breeding dynamics that showcase a unique aspect of sexual selection.
Hands down my favorite mating dance of all waterfowl, and possibly even ever, although the wandering albatross is a pretty stuff competition for that. 😂
Isn't nature just- so majestic? Its hard not to take moments such as these seriously. Such a beautiful dance. So- graceful, so so- ... I'd never make it as a documentary narrator
My girlfriend and I do a head thing from time to time when we're bored and have nothing to talk about. This puts me in the mind of that and now I can't stop grinning.
🤣🤣🤣👏♥️This is the most intricate and funny love dance ever. God love them, even creatures know that they have to do something to get a potential partner to be interested in them😂😂 I love it thanks for this treat❤❤
I just keep thinking about the first time this dance ever happened, and how it possibly became so popular that every bird couple of this species would do the same dance forever.
Grebes have the best courtships displays, love the Great Crested Grebes we have in the UK, although they are nothing compared to this, it genuinely puts some pro ballroom dancers to shame!
Some people watch this and say: Wow. Nature is so beautiful. This must be some sort of mating dance. Me watching this: *HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*
When they start bobbing their heads up and down I can't stop laughing
SooHyun Jang right! And they do it backwards... so damn funny 😄
Wth are they even doing? 😂😂
It’s very funny I also can’t stop laughing
"Do you want to go bro?"
Omg samw
So that's how Argentina came up with the tango...
i was thinking, thats exactly what it looks like theyre doing
As they say, nature has been inspiring humans all the time.
Apparently turning your neck into a seesaw is apart of the tango
efectivamente
Infox right
It’s incredible how they just know the dance. I mean that’s a very complex series of moves. How is that passed down through DNA
@Jack McHue if they all dance like that, it has to be passed down through DNA.

I sure hope the neighbors’ kids aren’t doing a mating dance.

They were too good for you anyway
The way the first one dives is absolute majestic and very similar to my own method.

Oh my goodness 😂😂😂
Lol i was expecting it to be so graceful
are you a bird
I cant fucking stop thinking about "very similar to my own method"

No it is not your not animals nor is your friend so stop 🛑 commenting that on a critically endangered species.

Man this never gets old
When they started bobbing their heads i lost it
That first dive though😂 The pull back and then LAUNCH🤣
This is my spirit animal.
🤣🤣🤣👏♥️This is the most intricate and funny love dance ever.
God love them, even creatures know that they have to do something to get a potential partner to be interested in them😂😂
I love it thanks for this treat❤❤
This reminded me of when toothless tried to court the light fury LMAO
Cute and funny birds, love them!
this made my day, i love this
Birds are such lovely, carefree creatures💙
They look so funny at the beginning I can't stop laughing 😂😂
Absolutely wonderfullllllllllllllllllllllllllll, thank you for sharing.
Mother nature is truly amazing
My hope will NEVER die
The way they bob their heads is absolutely hilarious 😭
I want someone to choreograph a dance based on this.
How Kiara and Reine met
Ah yes, the chicken and the turkey
I like the tango that goes soooo well with the way they courtship each other😂

Un spectacle merveilleux de la Nature !
This is the best courtship dance in the animal kingdom
I saw this in a try not to laugh challenge and was immediately in tears 😭
God made some lovely and funny birds

Never get old
I’m literally crying because of this
I love the courtship dance!

When you find someone with the same interests as you.

Wow~~!! They are really great dancers. Great video~ I enjoyed it.
this is just so amazing!!!

nature is truly spectacular
*Sniff * Sniff* See this is what I like about nature it's just so majestic but this is also some of my braincells during online class to be honest
Now that's true love.
I just keep thinking about the first time this dance ever happened, and how it possibly became so popular that every bird couple of this species would do the same dance forever.
I wouldn’t laugh if it wasn’t for the music 😂
That was beautiful thank youtube
Imagine humans doing this when they find out they love eachother
Itd be a helluva ad campaign for Trojan
I need to see this as a ballet
I honestly think it's kind of elegant.
"Mom, can we get a seesaw?"
"We have a seesaw at home."
Seesaw at home:
I'VE FINALLY FOUND IT
I LOVED THE DANCE
why this suddenly popup in my timeline after watching kiara and reine?
Those birds like:
HELLO!
HELLO!
HELLO!
HELLO!
This makes me too happy for my own good
This dance is built different
I will do whatever it takes to keep this bird safe
Those Hooded Grebe dance very well, and I can't stop laughing XDDD
