Courtship Displays

Courtship displays are behaviors animals use to attract a mate and demonstrate their suitability as a partner. These displays can include visual signals like vibrant plumage or elaborate dances, auditory signals such as singing or calls, and physical actions like territorial displays or specific movements. The goal is to communicate health, strength, and compatibility, helping potential mates assess each other's fitness. These behaviors vary widely across species and play a crucial role in successful reproduction by encouraging bonding and selection of the most suitable partners.
