Since we are getting very serious about this, I suggest (with apologies to Monty Python and Screaming Lord Sutch),  'Monster Raven Looney Flying Circus'.

This morning I was watching an Australian Raven doing a pair-bonding or territorial display where it would fly up from a tree and glide back to the top of the tree moving its wings backwards and forwards (not up and down!).

 

Is there a verb for this action?
