Watch as a male Magnificent Riflebird shape-shifts into a black ovoid and mesmerizes a female by whipping his iridescent blue neck back and forth. Filmed by Ed Scholes, Tim Laman, and Eric Liner in August of 2009 in the Bird's Head Peninsula of western New Guinea.

Hi.
@@JesusChrististheonlyway777 I don't think so.
Get stoned why
You will @@vidyarthi4009 by your own ignorance then.
It's adorable how the female wants to join his dance...
But then he started advancing.
Depends... Which country you live in!! 😂😂😂
He wanted to be extraaa infront of her 🤣🤣
Men always screw up 😁
Dude's a pro dancer
Yeah he did.. got a bit more than pushy.
Its mating call is so beautiful, clear and musical. Enchanting.

Female bird: Yay free hugs!
Male bird: starts dabbing
Female bird: ahhhh.... what's going on here, what happened to the free hugs
Male bird: dabs more aggressively
Female bird: Ight imma head out
Science laboral
Haha XD
I guess you are from USA...??
😂😂
Karan Karki nope im not from the US
The fact that he "moonwalked" and dabbed the same time...
That is some fancy footwork and nice moves. I especially love the ending when he stands tall and the blue color fades away. Absolutely beautiful.
just my thoughts..
it's such a beautiful creation. =)
I saw that blue fade out too.....like domino's falling
You are a bird
How the bird knows what the color combinations are on its feathers and uses them in a dance coordination is beyond understanding and facinating. Who knows what other surprises nature has in store for us nowadays.🧐
Beyond your understanding, do you not understand theory of evolution.

Such beautiful looking and sounding birds. I like how we have the melodious riflebirds and ear-piercing white bellbirds in the same planet.
The beauty of this is beyond measure.

WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY 😂
After reading this.. Even I started laughing like mad 😂😂😂
Lol... if he makes one wrong move dancing on that tree branch, he'll fall on his face and, well.... parties over !!
Because the bird is dabing and gets laid for it. In like some people.
😂😂
Because is so magnificent of course
With all that jumping up and down while moving up the branch then down again while also flipping his head from side to side it is amazing that he never once lost his balance!!
Looks like a flickering blue flame
She's not the only one mesmerized. I love these birds, they're all so majestic
Really mesmerized...
killing it with them fresh dabs
😂So Süß und Lustig ✨🥰👏
So _that's_ the bird responsible for making the iconic jungle noise...
You might be thinking of howler monkeys
Really, the female looks kind of terrified at the end, haha.
He took it too far, she was ready like halfway through but he just kept dancing. She probably thought he was gay.
Bürgus almost for me to go home from work here ?
she was looking around to make sure her husband is not seeing this

hahaha its a johhny bravo bird, he's like flexing his muscles, hey there pretty momma
But the video ended before we knew if she wants him!
@@dgoldilox this comment made my year
Willem Goeman hahahahhahaha
So true
Hey!! I was just to comment say thing hahahaha Hey baby momma
Lol was thinking the same. Just missing the Blonde Slicked Back Hair
I think I just found my new favorite animal
there is a difference bitween animals and birds
Birds ARE animals.
All birds are animals, not all animals are birds.
Zahid Shaikh Whaaaaaaat? Reeeeeeeaally!? God I had no idea! In that case, this is my favorite animal, not my favorite animal
GJERocks it was a joke of course 😁
The blue neck is so beautiful I feel to see it in real life 😅.
So a I met this chick she was cute
His friends: &... did you get her number?
Nah I just started dabbing left and right
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The strangest courting ritual that I have ever seen but awesome.
G
Then you need to check out Paradise Bird Courting Dance.... it's even weirder... it cleans its area before it performs
Absolutely beautiful. He wooed me!
Dancing male: LOOK HOW MUCH MY NECK IS FLEXIBLE
He dances better than me.
Loved the birds colour.
Fabulous footage made all the more amazing by having no music to spoil the natural sound. How all wildlife footage should be presented.
Yesssss!
Agreed
The Creator of all things has a sense of humour. Awesome.
chris barlow ROFL🤣
No
He surely does. It's amazing.
He is the creator ☝ allah the greatest the most gracious the most merciful

@@Casbahsouarej yeah, it is bullshit and you are delusional.
Beautiful bird
Imagine coming across a bird and it starts dabbing at you
Male at the end: "So what do you think"?
"Yeah that's gonna be a 'no' from me, dawg..."
@@i6tir Hahaha
Yes
he's feeling himself
Its really interesting to see how whenever the bird calls,its neck changes color upwards,making it seem like he's charging each "shot" or call before it fires them.
Well... I don't know if she was impressed, but I sure was... wow!!
I feel like I just watched a sci-fi movie.
Thus the adage, “the truth is stranger than fiction.”
Never have I seen something dab so aggressively
That vibrant black an blue colour is just enough for my eyes
Enchanting and spectacular! What colors, my god! This world is so incredibly beautiful!
You just have to love mother nature
we're so cruel to it yet
mother nature
hahahhhhahhhhahahahhahahhaaa
@David Leo the universe?
My friend sent this to me with the tag line "at the cluuuuub"

Absolutely lovely bird.. Those colors and feathers are magnificent. ❤
Die sind so süß ❤
the display is beautiful, what a great capture there!
It's surprising that he even performed a nice ending to his show. Dramatic by nature, Shakespear in genes. Crazy.

Aw
That bird is so beautiful!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Lovely bird
"Notice me! I'M AVAILABLE!!! Somebody LOVE me!! Hey girl, wanna be my bae? Wha...wait. Wher'ya going?! NOOOO!!!" **forever alone**
XD
Imagine if humans got mates by dancing like that. I know if a guy walked up to me with his arms stretched out and his head flailing side to side I'd be like nope.
Birds don't have such qualms.
A Daedra's Best Friend Yeah for you it would be his looks, personality and how much money he makes. Same concept different species. Also, knowing how to dance is an attractive quality to many females. Subconsciously, it tells a woman a lot about a man.
But as soon as you saw his bright blue color on his throat you would throw your self at him, grab him and yell TAKE ME NOW!!
Right? :)
You don't appear to be using the word “qualms” correctly.
idk what youre talking about, everytime i hit a girl with the riflebird she cant help but fall in lovd
yeah but if you think about it male birds build a house, make a collection for her, perform fancy dances, and we got human male today who are like "dick pic".
How much do you want to bet that toothless’s dance in how to train your dragon 3 was inspired by this
dude was smooth with it. real game right there.
I love his call!
Magnificent indeed. Thank-you❤️
thanks for promoting our Motherland of West Papua
One of the most beautiful of all birds, and his song is amazing
I could almost hear the tango music
Yass 🕺💃
for me it was something more like techno music, lights included and everything 🤭
now that's called Rifle's Nice Moves❤
wonderful bird
I love how the female at the beginning is like "Hey, I can do that too!"
This makes me so much happier then it should!!!!! I love it!!
Lovely & awesome. He's killing himself for the beautiful lady.
Birds are totally on a different level than humans.

The most perfect show bird ever!
Thanks for that Video
Beautiful!!!
That was indeed one of the most coolest things I have seen.
Such a beautiful life force, and its eager attitude to score a chick!
Super amazing, the wonder of God's creation! Just so fun and fascinating to see this!!

It wasn’t God’s creation that made this bird, it was evolution.
@Benny Hill ....I just want evidence of God's existence, pure and simple.
@Benny Hill...if I'm suddenly faced with danger I use my instincts to deal with it.
@@TheWheelofLife100 There are plenty of evidences if you look around. But you really don't want proof. Because you have already 'believed' in evolution. You haven't actually seen evolution yourself,have you? Do you even know that Darwin can only answer about the small changes? Do you even know he doesn't have any answer for the big changes? Educate yourself first about the theory of evolution then preach it.

Awesome!
Great video, this bird is wonderful, thank you for sharing this moment.
The female looks like she's thinking "what the HELL.?"
She not, though
Lovely birds with amazing actions.....!
Wow, so amazing! Hope he got the female after that dance!
Beautiful birds in dancing mood .
It's nature
