To many people the mere pleasure is

Yet these unconslderlng givers are

Dancing Birds

Many of the birds of South Amer
lea have the regularly formed habit of
meeting periodically in the same place
for the purpose of dancing. Some sing
as they dance, others accompany the
refrain by something unquestionably
like instrumental music. The rupicola
dances alone. Birds of this species
range themselves in a circle around
level, messy or soft ground, and one of
them, bright with orange and vivid
scarlet plumage, leaves the circle and
advances to the center of the space
with the dignity of courtier dancing
a minuet, his wings spread and tail
like a fan. He begins slowly, then,
gradually increasing speed, terminates
his performances by leaping and whirl-
ing until he falls from exhaustion.
