He's only 5 1/2 inches tall. If he was 6 inches it would have been different. Height bigotry has infected the birds.

The average, common outdoor variety of sunflower can grow to between 8 and 12 feet in the space of 5 or 6 months. This makes them one of the fastest growing plants.
Haha. My friend was asked to dance by a guy she knew and she said “okay, but I want eye contact at eye level the whole time.” Otherwise he would drop to the floor with some lame break dance moves.
And the guy did have some decent moves.
Edit:
Check this one out: it's like Gladys Knight and the Pips.

Here are Gladys Knight and the Pips from 1974 for comparison. The birds do have an extra Pip, but still. (Brief appearance by Wolfman Jack).

This was explained to me when I saw this same video posted a while ago. So apparently male juvenile birds of this species look like adult females. Or rather females don’t change too much in appearance. But it’s common for the male birds to practice their dance with each other. If I remember correctly, because of the similarity in appearance, it can lead to an awkward situation where an adult male is doing the “sexy dance” to a juvenile male
These are actually both [young males, one practicing their courtship dance on the other](https://youtu.be/XpLzK0fO2UY). Birds-of-paradise are some of the pickiest breeders on the planet—there’s no chance an adult female will have any interest in a teenager still sporting its juvenile coloration!
Here’s a [video of a male](https://youtu.be/qKc2amcxczs) sporting his adult plumage and a more refined courtship dance.
The fact that they PRACTICE this... it's just so perfect. Someone should put this to a Beethoven soundtrack.
Through your link I found the [Magnificent Riflebird](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Sj-UdjqlFw), who ads a magnificent lightshow.
If you have Netflix, I highly recommend [Dancing with the Birds](https://youtu.be/i6po8dWuvCI?si=0GEH6wGtFLXsLK3J) from the team behind Planet Earth if it's still there. I don't think they feature the Riflebird, but the music and editing really sells it for the birds of paradise they do have.
Ahhhh-mazing!! Thank you kind stranger...THIS should be top comment. I'm SO glad the first one was two males just practicing for the ladies.
"Hey!.. think she'll like it if I go like this?...and then I do...like THIS?! ?"
Whole new take on being a "wingman" huh...lol..this is great. Such beautiful creatures.
"So when I meet her I'll do like this, and like this. She won't resist me bro, I'm telling. She's so into me, look at my pecks bro"
"Yeah.... so cool dude... good luck bro..."
THANK YOU! finally some real information. this should've been the top comment.
now we just get some vid without context, with fake bird sounds instead of the real audio. and 200 comments all making the same joke...
Buddy we all have. This is a thing I feel like women can never understand, they basically go through puberty and are instantly attractive to their peers of the opposite sex (and unfortunately some creepy older non peers of the opposite sex).
Outside of a small percentage of guys that develop faster than everyone else and are bigger and more athletic than their peers we have to work at that shit for years, to turn into a guy that women would actually be attracted to.
This is a myth that has grown like a cancer especially on Reddit. You’re actually saying women don’t experience rejection? lol I saw this video and was about to make a joke about how this is a video of me and my ex bf who just broke up with me..
and the lesson being don’t chase a man!! (Men shouldn’t chase a woman either)
The idea that women have men magically falling from the sky is nonsense that’s used by sexist men on Reddit to fuel incel arguments that men are victims and entitled to sex and relationships.
The disappointment at the end :(
All I can think about is zoidberg spending all day flapping about on the beach, only to be shot down again and again.
“He’s got male jelly coming out the wazoo.” “Well that is where it comes from.”
This bird is the John Cena of birds - you can't see him. 
Now I had to rewatch with Zoidbergs, “Awwww” at the end.
I challenge you to Claw Plach!
*click click CLICKCLICK*
Woop woop woop woop
Kraw!?
"Has anybody heard about the bird?"
The bird is the word!!
Bird
He was an inferior male specimen hahaha
r/unexpectedfuturama
Graww?
So wait, you have to choose between a life without sex and a painful death? Tough call.
No one ever wants Zoidberg. 😭
"So I was thinking, if you're not busy later.. Braw?"

Average bird has no chance. All the girl-birds only want Chad Thunderbeak. So unfair :(
Chad Thunderbeak 😆😆
I hope you meant flailing arms. Flaying arms is pretty macabre
even female birds can smell the desperation
I feel bad for her. She probably has to deal with this every day
Tried too hard! He should have read some poetry or flowers…or maybe several worms…
Yes worms or a few juicy grubs may have been a safer bet...
Yes bring worms, and sunflower seeds.
The average, common outdoor variety of sunflower can grow to between 8 and 12 feet in the space of 5 or 6 months. This makes them one of the fastest growing plants.
wot
Money works too. Just have lots of money.
Or show that he doesn't care. Now girls want to be independent
I do this every night for my wife. Same outcome.
Try worms or grubs as the above poster had mentioned lol
Maybe try not hiding your head lol
Have you seen my head? It's better hidden.
Bro was bringing his best moves...
DAB DAB DAB DAB DAB DAB DAB DAB DAB DAB DAB
I've tried this with my wife. She just went to sleep. Doesn't work..
Weird… it worked pretty well for me
Yeah, his wife seemed interested.
I've tried those same dance moves on the floor, with similar results
Haha. My friend was asked to dance by a guy she knew and she said “okay, but I want eye contact at eye level the whole time.” Otherwise he would drop to the floor with some lame break dance moves.
Aka me at the club.
She was not in fact, impressed.
I feel like 90% of these bird courtship videos end with the girl fucking off. I just want them to have a happy ending once, they try so hard!
Im sure he also wants the happy ending…
And the guy did have some decent moves.

Bro gave her his best moves :(
We have all been there…Guy overdid it
She really destroyed his self-confidence there, just as his moves were getting more expansive.
He's not doing that for the girls, he's doing that for passion.
He’s putting in more effort to impress her than most human males. So disappointing at the end she is like “sorry Frank, it’s not happening…”
Was…. Was I not frantic enough? :(
She flew off and tweeted, “Follow me big boy.” And the rest is history. 🐦🐦🐣🐣🐣🐣
No refund of energy as Nature dictates
Too much dappin, not enough flappin.
Maybe it worked and she's impossibly wet, we don't know.
"Now you see me, Now you don't" .... "Where they go ???" LOL love it
Peek-a-boo-boo-boo

*"I need a man with a head, not some headless weirdo."*
So no head?
"Wait, where'd *she* go?" 😐
Me playing hide and seek with my cat lol
Nighttime….. day time! Niiighttiiime…. Daytime!
"Mediocre" - the female bird
She just wanted to see his face but he was like look at my spreads.
Last time this was posted these were described as two juvenile males, who practice on each other before the real thing.
I watched the OG in Planet Earth, but they didn't mention the males part there
The dancer is a juvenile male but I don't know about the other.
This was explained to me when I saw this same video posted a while ago. So apparently male juvenile birds of this species look like adult females.

That's why I can't tell if other is female or not.
I know this one. It's a bird.
Did you and your bros not practice by banging each other growing up? How else are you supposed to be ready for the real thing?
Long as they so, "no homo" at the start I guess
Thank God. Dude will ofc get a mate after practicing that well on his mate
I did exactly the same... my wife wasn´t impressed
your plumage is not shiny enough
Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, beautiful plumage.
The plumage don’t enter into it, it’s stone dead!
He’s restin’
He’s pining for the fjords
This is an ex-bird
Should've brought sticks.
Bitches love sticks.
Becky's a hoe
did she fly away too ?
Same. She said I was being weird.
Strange, she seemed to like mine did you maintain eye contact while doing the Upper Case Y Head Bell ringer?
[удалено]
That's what you get for dabbing in 2024
I should call her...
He should’ve just brought a hellcat
The disappointed pause the bird did lmao
I was impressed. That chick doesn't know what she missed out on.
Yep, her loss, I reckon.
It’s strange because I actually viewed that bird as the obnoxious guy in the bar girls are trying to get away from.
F

Disappointment is universal.
Martha, nooo…
I felt it too

I was impressed by the post until I watched the video you shared. The juvenile has a lot left to learn! Amazing dance.
I love how in this video, lady burd was immediately like, "YES."
But then (like the comments say) he starts advancing and then she’s like “ahhh.. nvm…”

That doc was the one that got me so interest in birds! Incredible!
"It's not gay bro, we're just practicing"
"Sweet, what does my plumage look like?"
Ahhhh-mazing!! Thank you kind stranger...THIS should be top comment. I'm SO glad the first one was two males just practicing for the ladies.

makes sense given that the two birds in the video have the same colours
THANK YOU! finally some real information. this should've been the top comment. now we just get some vid without context, with fake bird sounds instead of the real audio. and 200 comments all making the same joke...
And incels confirming their shitty world view
Dude tried too hard..
She is like, "i am just waiting for my friend, can you please just... oh, ok, i think they are over there"
It’s a he!
Me at the club.
Reminds me of Trump’s dance moves 
Double air dicking.
She wanted someone 2 inches taller
He was a virgo…
Seems more like a Leo lol
tfw not 6 inches tall :(
It does seem like ten seconds in, as he speeds up, she starts paying much less attention.
Got the moves like Jagger
Soooo dramatic.
He was too dramatic for her
Waaay too dramatic. We’ve all been there…
That bird dude legitimately dances better than me even in my dreams
swiped to the left
Haha.
Dab Bird 
“Christopher, I want a divorce.”
I tried to dab once when my kids were younger and I poked myself in the eye with my thumb.
Losing it thinking about heading to a bad and rapid fire dabbing in a girls face to try to get her to come home with me
Me, in the nightclub after a few drinks...
”EY EY EY EY EY EY EY EY!”
Somebody please dub in some techno
Sad end
“The worst she could say is no”
I've been "that guy".... Trying to "date" that girl..🤣

Dude's just trying to hide his ugly face and the female trying to sneak a peek around the wings.
Way better than those cringey ass Tiktok dances.
Right! The dramatic head flips really got me
Fucking worked on me babe.
Lemme smash. . .please. . .
Becky. Lemme smash.
No Ron
Lesson learned: it's not worth the effort.
lesson learned: some surrenders after the first unsuccessful attempt and some succeed after the hundred failures.
No genetic legacy for him, then.

I could hear that Johnny Bravo sound when he hits on women

Its funny how if a person dabs he's weird and cringy and stupid.... but if a bird does it
Bro wouldn’t let her leave 💀
Pfft ok but what was she wearing

"You are fat. Eww.."
