Hilarity to bouncing around flag

VIDEO- With his long, jet-black feathers and graceful tail is Hanenstaartwidavink a stylish appearance on the African savannas.

In order to attract a female, he leaps into the air as high as possible. Sometimes once very high, sometimes several times in succession. All to find a mate and procreate.

Viewers of BBC Earth could not contain their laughter when they saw pictures about the particular finch in a reserve in Kenya. The bird is like a bouncing up and down to get noticed by the females in the tall green grass.
