5 Hilarious Bird Mating Dances

Unlike humans, birds cannot rely on the services of eHarmony, jDate, or even STDmatch.net to help them find a mate. In the bird world, males must use their brightly colored feathers (or feet) and their sweet, sweet dance moves to woo the ladies. Here are some of the most creative and hilarious mating dances YouTube has to offer.

• 3. The Manakin Bird

• 4. Kakapo
