They perform elaborate visual displays and dances.

Male birds-of-paradise use spectacular plumage, postures, coordinated movements, and sometimes short calls while performing complex courtship dances (often on display perches or leks) to attract females. They do practice and refine displays, but they are best known for visual displays rather than giving food gifts or building intricate nests (bower-building is done by bowerbirds, not birds-of-paradise).
