"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”- Friedrich Nietzsche
Fantails move in the undergrowth restlessly changing directions from one side to the other opening up their tails like a fan as they search for prey that they flush out with these sudden dance moves.
Sometimes they observe the insects from a perch and make short aerial sallies to catch them in air.
