Grip it in his left foot and rock out, banging it rhythmically against a hollow tree trunk to impress a female. Throw the stick to the ground like a rock star smashing a guitar at the end of a set once he's finished.They each have their own totally unique drumming rhythm and instrument design preference, which they actually teach to their sons over many years.

Drumming for love
1/2
Male Palm Cockatoos are famous for being the rock stars of the bird world. They are the only non-human animals known to craft and use musical instruments for mating displays.The male Palm Cockatoo will:Snap a thick branch off a live tree or find a large, hard seed pod. Whittle it down with his massive beak to custom specifications (some prefer short and stubby, others like them long and thin).

In 1994, I visited West Papua, the western half of the island of New Guinea. I was in graduate school doing thesis research. I came within 60 miles of this mountain--I was obsessed with seeing the only glacier topped mountain between the Himalayas and the Andes. But due to the insurgency, i couldn't reach it... I always told myself someday I'd return to see that glacier but it looks like I will have misssed my chance. #indonesia

I've been going through unsorted accessions in the #Australian National #Insect #Collection (#ANIC) here in Canberra to find any plume #moths (#Pterophoridae) and many-plume moths (#Alucitidae) before doing more work to revise the fauna of these two families.
Today, I found this specimen collected by David Rentz in #Kuranda #Queensland in 2007 - it's not a known named Australian species but it looks a close match for Platyptilia microbscura recorded only from #Misool, an island to the west of #NewGuinea:

💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🥁🦜 Many #birds use tools, but the palm #cockatoo, a native #parrot of northern #Queensland, #Australia, and #NewGuinea, is the only animal on #Earth known to make #music with a tool.
Male palm cockatoos craft drumsticks from branches and use them to drum on their prepared tree hollows in the tops of old-growth #trees. Each male has its own rhythmic style, sometimes drumming 200 beats in a row.
