Wire-tailed Manakin


Wire-tailed Manakin
Wire-tailed manakin's natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical swamps.
Like other manakin species, wire-tailed manakins are deeply sexually dimorphic, with males sporting a brilliant red, black, and yellow plumage which they use to woo drab colored females.
Now...that's quite a sexy dance! :)

    That's what I do to pick up girls. Funny thing is, I go home alone a lot.

    Chris Roberts perhaps it's a shortcoming of your plumage?
