Birds display a wide variety of courtship behaviors. Which behavior is also a territorial behavior?

Question

a. dancing and calling on a lek (communal ground) with other males, competing for female attention.
b. creating a bower (arch) with interesting objects and defending it from rival males
c. flashing feathers to show their health and grooming abilities
d. singing a particular song to help potential mates hear them

Answer 1

The behavior that is also a territorial behavior is:

b. creating a bower (arch) with interesting objects and defending it from rival males.

This behavior involves not only attracting mates but also defending an area from competitors, which is characteristic of territoriality. In contrast, the other options primarily focus on attracting mates without necessarily involving the defense of territory.
