| The hen in the tree caused quite a stir of emotions. |
 |
| A lot of head shaking. |
 |
| A lot of wishful glances. |

 |
| The Ruff ruffed. |
 |
| The tail tells the tale as to where the female is. It always displays toward her direction. |
 |
| Very slow steps, interspersed with head shaking, ground pecks and then a fast sidle toward the hen's position - for about five feet and then he stops and starts his dance moves all over again. |
 |
| They do a lot of just waiting, too. |
