Composure
Elsewhere, one might admire
such stark, unforced attire,
but here, it is required.
The Whydah shows the test:

The Pin-tailed Whydah is a very distinctive-looking bird, thanks to the breeding male's tail, which can grow to almost double the bird's length. What a sight! 🪶

For #BirdOfTheDay #BestOfTheMonth, I finally got some photos of the Pin-tailed Whydah doing his courtship "dance" in the air! These guys kind of bop around mid-air, letting their long tail feathers shake and float around in an effort to impress a lady. I was thrilled!
