The dance ritual that some birds (usually in the tropics) do is part of what is called "courtship" - behaviors or patters that eventually lead to copulation. The reason birds and other animals have such showy displays lies, as all behavior does, in evolution. Darwin called the competition between males and the choosiness of the females sexual selection.
Courtship behaviors are an evolutionary byproduct of sexual selection. In the case of birds, the females choose which males will be their mates in what is specifically called intersexual selection. This type of selection ensures that only colorful plumes and other physiological features are passed on to the next generation, as dictated by the females. Usually the features that are most attractive to the females are masculine. So the dance gives the male birds the opportunity to flaunt their impressive features in hope that the female will accept him as a mate.
To a lesser degree, the dance shows the female that the male is physiologically ready to reproduce. Some male birds have a large parental investment - time and resources it must spend from caring to the egg to nurturing offspring. If the father fails to put in adequate parental investment (species in which the males have a large parental investment) the duty becomes the mother's. This could lead the mother to either neglect her offspring or herself.
Strength in numbers. Also when they fly in a v pattern it reduces wind resistance on the birds behind the bird on point.

Birds and whales are most commonly known for doing this.
When an animal is seeking a mate it generally has a series of behaviours or activities that it undergoes to advertise its desire to prospective partners.Examples are:some birds sing others drum on hollow treesfrogs croakpenguins find pretty stones for their potential mateteen age boys douse themselves with Axe spraysome birds have a ritual dance with the potential parentselk bugle
Probably a dark blue bird.But blue and black birds don't mate, they only mate their own kind! or, (second answer) where do you think purple martins come from?
Birds may be carnivores or herbivores because some of the birds like eagles are eating meat and some birds are sucking nectar from plants like a humming bird
they do an elaborate song and dance routine to attract the female and then mate much as other birds do when she accepts him.
Yes, you can mate the same breed of birds. Some popular breeds of birds that are good to breed include canaries, love birds, and parrots.
you can't make birds mate they have to be stimulated and some couples don't get along.
Birds mate after and before making a nest
some birds eat it snakes and mate eating anialm
Yes, all birds mate and have nests at one point or another. The process is different with all birds.
New birds have been produced, and difrent species mate with each other which makes a new type of bird. Some birds who mate with each other produce offsprings with dirffrent traits, size, or color.
They have mating rituals in which they dance.
a mate
Some animals especially birds will seek out a mate and stick with it for life.
Probably, but they wouldn't because birds are instinctively drawn to mate only with their own kind.
Yes. Parrots and swifts can mate in midair.
