display activities Explanation: Display is a form of animal behaviour, linked to sexual selection and survival of the species in various ways. One example of display used by some species can be found in the form of courtship, with the male usually having a striking feature that is distinguished by colour, shape or size, used to attract a female. In other instances, species may exhibit territorial display behaviour, in order to preserve a foraging or hunting territory for its family or group. A third form is exhibited by tournament species in which males will fight in order to gain the 'right' to breed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_(zoology) Parata sono gli atteggiamenti ritualizzati di corteggiamento di una specie. http://www.areaparchi.it/pdf/quad7.pdf http://www.oiseaux-birds.com/article-birds-courtship-display...
