CONT

L'aire de parade comprend un emplacement sur le sol et un certain nombre de branches servant de perchoirs verticalement au-dessus. Évidemment, c'est la parade des mâles qui agit sur les femelles et les stimule jusqu'à la réponse, mais l'emplacement de la parade est aussi une nécessité pour ces espèces, chez lesquelles les liens conjugaux sont lâches et peu durables.
