LATERAL COURTSHIP DISPLAY OF THE PEACOCK PHEASANT 



The courtship of this bird is one of the most remarl<;able among birds. It combines the methods of the 

 others. The first phase is a lateral display, like that of the junglefowl and typical pheasants, the cock 

 approaching the hen from the side, and flattening itself to right or left in the direction of the object of its 

 courtship.
