to attract a mate
A male bird shows bright feathers to attract a mate. What type of behavior is this?
Turkeys circle each other during courtship displays to show off their feathers and size, and to impress potential mates. This behavior is a way for turkeys to establish dominance and attract a mate for breeding.
Mating season typically begins from March to April where male wild turkeys attract females by spreading their tails and puffing out their feathers. This behaviour is accompanied by spitting, gobbling, and drumming. When mating is finished, females lay 10-14 eggs in shallow dirt depressions. The eggs are incubated for 28 days.
