Bird do moonwalk to impress the lady

In many cases, male birds are prettier and more colorful than female birds. This appearance is a result of evolution. Male birds are colorful to attract female birds.

 But sometimes, beautiful feathers are not enough to impress the lady. Some birds develop other characteristics like dancing, making the nest for the lady and collecting some things (rock, flowers). 
An example for this is the red-capped manakin which does the moonwalk to impress and attract the female bird.



  Its Latin name is Ceratopipra mentalis and it lives in tropical and subtropical forests in South America. This bird species is very small (16 g) and it eats only fruits. 
Now, see the Michael Jackson copy-cat in action.
