Yes, that's the general idea... that they drummed to attract females and assert territory to other males. Tool-use! Impressive!

Amazing vid! Thank you!

Ahhhh, yessssssssssssss, a mere boy.

But someday...

Well, why hurry it? I also recall that Palms reach a very late maturity... or at least my friend had read that. The Rickeybird is an established Romeo by now, of course.

He has this mask of feathers on the lower side of his face that he pulls up like a shield when he is feeling shy, now I know why someone would have a palm named Darth Vader lol
