@kolombiken@front-end.social Yes!! Though looking it up I'm wrong that only the males do it, both sexes do (I just happen to have only seen the males). It's sometimes called "fencing" https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Flicker/photo-gallery/438936241

@idzie@kolektiva.social Thank you so much for the link! That’s the best fencing-dance. I love it! 💚

@idzie@kolektiva.social @kolombiken@front-end.social I saw something like this performed by robins on a fence, but maybe this is more a mating ritual.
