Learning
Juvenile male Victoria's Riflebird, learning and practising courtship display moves by taking over a courtship display pole when it isn't occupied by an adult male. The juvenile male doesn't get his full velvet black plumage until between 5 and 7 years old. This one is closer to adulthood than previous juvenile males I've posted doing similar displays.
