I really like the part.... “Every man wants to cast himself in a favorable light when he meets an attractive female, and we have shown that birds are no different,” said co-author Sasha Dall, an ecologist from the University of Exeter.

My favorite part:

Just like humans, they go all out to win the girl, but get complacent and stop trying so hard once they've got her!
(That goes for both sexes. I'm not picking on the guys.)
