Marvelous Spatuletail Hummingbird Mating Dance

[Donkees]

Watch the adult Marvelous Spatuletail hummingbirds (Colibrís Maravillosa) teach the juvenile males how to strut their stuff for the ladies. This dance must be mastered to impress a female into mating and it has to be learned well. Watch these attentive juveniles as their elders show them how it is done.

This video of the endangered Marvelous Spatuletail hummingbird was filmed in northern Peru at the Huembo Reserve in Pomacochas. There is no other hummingbird that has a tail so spectacular, and that makes this bird one of the top hummingbirds every birder wants to see
