Wednesday

Even when I forget to remind you that tomorrow is another day, you must know that today is Wednesday and that you can’t miss your dance class at Associazione Culturale “Il Delta della Luna”!

A Western parotia struts his stuff. Known for their six head wires and ballerina-like “tutu” of stiff feathers, male parotias flash their iridescent breast feathers as they display for females. Each male clears a patch of forest floor several feet across, creating a stage where he performs a bizarre dance: hopping, prancing sideways, curtsying, and bobbing his head. Photo: Tim Laman.
