Booty Call! Pheasant Tries to Woo Female Partner With Mating Dance – Video

New Delhi (Sputnik): Found in Southeast Asia, the argus pheasant is known for its heavy feathers with eye-spots and breeding practices. Monogamous by nature, mating between male and female partners involves dancing and wooing.

In a video going viral on social media, a male argus pheasant can be seen performing the mating dance around his female partner, spreading his tail and wings into two enormous fans, revealing the hundreds of flashy eye-spots on its feathers.

​While the Indian Forest Service officer, who shared the video, revealed that as per experts she seems impressed but netizens believe otherwise.

No...
She is not interested rather she is annoyed

​However, this breeding is believed to be remarkable as the male first clears an open spot in the forest, one where there are no leaves, and prepares a dancing ground. He then announces himself with loud calls to attract females before beginning the mating dance.
