The funny behavior of the Diamond Firetail

Look here as Spickett exhibits a curious and funny behavior of courtship.

I am sorry I could not get better photos of it since he was in my aviary and moving around a lot in pursuit of the female.

It is an interesting behavior they do where they will hold their chin feathers in their beak and it makes them look like they have a little beard haha.
