this female flame-rumped tanager was relentless with the food begging, at one point, the exasperated male tried to stuff her bill with some of the ferns but she was not fooled...

I'm not sure it's fashionable in 2025 to worry about being too reticent in one's courtship practices. In fact, I'm sure it's NOT. Better a "goddamn perfect gentleman" than a douchebag whose name is in the whisper network...

A quotation from Hugo

Strange to say, the first symptom of true love in a young man is timidity; in a young girl it is boldness. This is surprising, and yet nothing is more simple. It is the two sexes tending to approach each other and assuming each the other’s qualities.
 
[Et puis, chose bizarre, le premier symptôme de l’amour vrai chez un jeune homme, c’est la timidité, chez une jeune fille, c’est la hardiesse. Ceci étonne, et rien n’est plus simple pourtant. Ce sont les deux sexes qui tendent à se rapprocher et qui prennent les qualités l’un de l’autre.]

Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French writer
Les Misérables, Part 4 “St. Denis,” Book 3 “The House in the Rue Plumet,” ch. 6 (4.3.6) (1862) [tr. Hapgood (1887)]

A man in top hat and tails plays the flute outside a bedroom window, standing on the top of a wall. Vintage engraving ‘The Serenade” from Lloyd’s 1857 family book (Illustrirtes Familienbuch zur Unterhaltung & Belehrung häuslicher Kreise).

The book describes him as a dreamy youth.

From a painting by G. Neumann & engraved by Heinrich Petersen (1806-1870)
