What a fascinating looking bird Jeffery, and wonderful captures to boot!
I'd love to know the evolutionary significance of the tuft, although surely it has something to do with attracting a mate.

Steve! I think so too because only the male has the tuft and always the male are much more beautiful and colorful.

Thanks
