Most males prepare an arena for mating dance on the cleared of sticks ground or in the treetops. Some strip leaves from branches to make their mating dance clearly visible.A common part of such a dance is "standing on their heads," with their beak tilted as low as possible and their tail raised high and spread out. They also spread their wings, puff out their breasts and perform spectacular turns. They make various sounds: loud chirping, whistling, buzzing.
