(Tragopan Satyra) As the breeding season approaches the blue will be seen more and more. Often the cock will give his head a shake and the bib will "fall". His display is certainly worth watching. He will nod his head and you will probably hear a strange noise like a balloon or tire being pumped up. His head nodding will become faster and more like a bow over and over until he rushes up to the hen and pulls himself up to his full height with his wings outstretched and the lappet and horns completely extended he stands quivering slightly until very suddenly the show is over and everything returns to normal. The lappets are blue with red/pink blotches and extend to about 4 inches long.
