What is the name of a species of Dancing Bird in South America? |
Travel Info I actually happend to see a very interesting bird featured on a show. 3 - 4 male birds trying to flirt with a female bird by making really cute dance moves. They are very colourful and a little small. The one with the best moves gets to be with the female and the rest flies away with a gracious dance move again. They are from the Amazon........ Can any of u pls give me more info on this.... Name , Pic, etc. They were so cute....... iam still looking for more details abt them. Thanks. Travel Tips They were probably manakins (saltar铆n in Spanish), found all over South and Central America. I agree, they are so cute! The video below shows two males singing and jumping. They are Long-tailed manakins (Chiroxiphia linearis). In Spanish they are called Saltar铆n Toledo: http://www.hbw.com/ibc/phtml/votacio.pht... If you want more videos of manakins, please visit: http://www.hbw.com/ibc/phtml/familia.pht... You can read more about them on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/pipridae... Apparently the male is only good for singing and dancing, the female is the one taking care of their little ones! Others You need to be more specific, there are too many kinds of birds out there... Anyway, you can try this website: http://southamerica.whatbird.com/mwg/_/0... I think you might be talking about the blue bird of paradise.. heres a link to that video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p85lohfte... and here it explains a little about it http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/pla... click on JUNGLES, and it should be the first animal to appear and here is the wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/blue_bird_o... hope it can help =] |
