Hey Ornithology side of Tumblr

Can someone please explain to me why some birds dance outside of courtship? Like I've noticed that corvids and parrots particular will dance, such as hopping with some rhythm, wiggle, bounce, sway back and forth and bob either in response to some outside stimuli like music or favorite food or seeing favorite friend, and this behavior is outside of courtship rituals. It seems like a social behavior but why do they have it while other birds don't?

This is vary messy, mostly for personal use. I had all these rules written down, but I thought a visual guide would be better.

extra notes

how a bot usually holds their plating can tell you a lot about them,

it can also tell you a bit about their relationship with others depending on how they hold it around them

Some bots are more expressive with their plating than others.

Playtime for young kea birds! There’s a benefit to this apparently carefree behavior. It helps establish long-lasting relationships between the youngsters and even diffuses tension. David Attenborough | BBC Earth

this was a lot of work! i think it might be the prettiest & strangest thing i've made yet. fyi it's felted wool on wire armature. the claws, teeth, and beak are painted modeling foam.

id: pictures of a needlefelted wool creature puppet. this creature is a chimera of flamboyant flamingo and majestic leopard. it's built bizarre and it has no apparent eyes. its torso is made of a leopard's face. the chin is its stomach, with a toothy maw yawning in its midsection. the torso-face's upper lip mimics the pecs of a chest, and attached to that is a set of strong arms with large paws. the cheeks of the torso-face mimic an addition chest, and attached to this is a set of wings. the creature has a second face. from the nose ridge of the torso-face stretches the neck, head, and beak of a flamingo, once again apparently eyeless. its coat is all bright pink with a paler pink undercoat and hundreds of purple spots. on the feathery wings, the spots elongate into rows of streaks. below its knees, its legs are purple with light lavender scales, its feet webbed, three-toed, and clawed. its tail is long, terminating in a feathery bouquet.

It’s been a year since I posted my first artwork on tumblr so I thought I do a redraw of that art work.

The old art work:

And the new artwork a year later!

They still are my two brain cells.
