Unusual (?) Koel Behaviour

["Allan Benson" <>]

On the 29th October at Ourimbah station (Central Coast NSW), a female
Koel and three male Koel were observed in the one tree. The female flew,
closely pursued by one of the males. The other 2 males remained in the
tree and engaged in a “head bobbing” display. They were on adjacent
branches about 45 cm apart and the display continued for a least 10
minutes.

I’m assuming this was some sort of males dominance display.  Any
comment?

Has anybody observed this behaviour?

Regards

Allan Benson
