Derbyan parakeet (Psittacula derbiana)

The courtship as a test of affection

With a courtship dance the Chinese parakeet males try to gain the sympathy of females. The male straightens up und turns his head sharply to the right or left. Then a sham cleaning of the beak and the plumage with their feet follows. They spin several times in front of the females. If they have gained the affection of the females with that they laid out a nest in preferably poplars. The female does not leave the nest during the incubation period and is therefore fed by the male.
