First the male will prepare his displaying ground by tiding up the arena, a job that includes clipping the leaves off any intruding sapling. When all jobs done very well and the arena looks very attractive to female, finally she comes up. This will be a breathtaking moment to you. Focus in your eyes and camera to see this most handsome male comes in his last full sexual splendor, tail in a hoop, wings in a cape and neck feathers in a complete disc, ready to copulate the female.
