Many birds are known for their strange mating rituals, but have you heard of lekking?

A lek is a collection of male birds engaging in competitive displays to try to win the hearts of visiting ladies.

What this ends up looking like is an elaborate dance off for love, with the winner being hand-selected by the lady of his dreams.

This is commonly seen in black grouse populations all year round, especially during the spring, with this photo showing the fierceness of the competition.
