Great video! You captured it very well. Wish the hen was a bit more receptive though.

Oh the dance is so cute and silly at the same time - I love it!

I saw one of my males do the dance as well for the first time the other day. It was adorable! Like you, no nest but the female had her tail pointing to him and watched. You're timing is spot on to catch on video, well done

She probably isn't in breeding mode yet

Animalzoo I had a camera right nest to me , I saw his head bobbed down and shaking and it took me some time to process what was going on , then I quickly grabbed the camera and tried to catch it , I caught it the second time though.
@debbie276 She has a black beak though , although probably still not ready.

Really cute video.

He's dancing his heart out, and your girl is just looking at him as if to say:
"Get away from me you jumping fool!"

Hah-hah-hahhhh!
