Courtship Feeding


 


Courtship feeding is a unique behavior among Clark's and Western Grebes. During courtship, the male Grebe catches a fish and offers it to the female.  

By sharing food, the male demonstrates his ability to provide for the female and their offspring.










The female Grebe stays close to the male while waiting for fish.










The male offering fish to the female shows what an excellent provider he will be for her and their babies.









The female accepts the fish. 

Generally, life is good.

  1. Que buena serie, Kaya. Deberíamos aprender los humanos de como se cuidan entre ellos determinadas especies de animales.
    Un abrazo.
