Today Sally was on a perch, opening and closing her beak very quickly. There might have been a quiet clicking sound, hard to tell. Meanwhile, Frank was on the perch next to her, hopping up and down. I had no idea Frank has a Hunka Hunka Burning Love dance! I had never observed this before. Animal Planet has shown a clip of a Gouldian finch dancing his Hunka Hunka Burning Love dance. Two very colorful finches sitting on the edge of a dish, and the male is hopping up and down — but he's really hopping. The Gouldian must hop close to an inch in the air. Frank didn't jump that high, those big feet and toes of his barely left the perch. But it was a dance, all right! Sally was clearly interested, but the two didn't mate. It's definitely Fall here in Michigan. I wonder if it's Spring in the Malaysian Penninsula, and Frank and Sally's hearts have turned to love? Maybe that's why they're so interested in the Society Finster's antics.
