Description Okay, this particular dance tips E.v.e. into punching Wall.e... as much as it tips the Light Fury into smacking Toothless in the face multiple times in rapid succession. It also looks hilariously demented- probably because of the way the eyes roll in the most random directions here. The dance itself seems to combine the two birds of paradise mentioned in a previous dance with the courtship dance of the Victoria's Riflebird- an Australian species with a unique courtship dance. The male sings to attract female Riflebirds, and then spreads his wings and holds them up. He then shifts the wings from side to side, showing off the iridescent feathers lining his throat. That seems to have inspired the way the wings are held up in this particular courtship dance, with other elements such as them being used as a frill coming from the Superb and Velcomb's Birds of Paradise. Additionally, the Superb Bird of Paradise seems to have introduced bouncing from side to side. The "singing" element of it may have come from the Victoria's Riflebird as well as the specific way the wings are held.
