These are captive male ruffs. They both have their breeding plumage which shows their shaggy ruffs that can occur in a variety of colours. This is naturally a shorebird that consumes invertebrates in wetland habitats. Males will naturally gather in 'leks' to display to females.
@alan678.bsky.social #BirdOFTheDay Alt theme is #DramaQueens and this could fit the theme for these captive competing #male #ruffs. The #darker #coloured one is trying to make the #white #ruffed bird submit, these birds are angry. Perhaps they should really be 'Drama Kings' #photography #photo #bird
