The White-bearded Manakin has a very interesting breeding display. Each male clears a patch of forest floor to bare earth, and perches on a bare stick. The display consists of rapid leaps between sticks and the ground, accompanied by a loud wing-snap, the whirring of the wings, and a chee-poo call. It's exciting to watch their display in the communal lek in the forests of Trinidad.
