Detailed explanation-1: -A courtship is a set of display behaviours in which an animal attempts to attract a mate and exhibit their desire to copulate. These behaviours often include ritualized movement (“dances”), vocalizations, mechanical sound production, or displays of beauty, strength, or agonistic ability.

Detailed explanation-2: -Courtship behavior can include things like food delivery, dance moves (displays), and mutual preening. In many cases, the most extravagant courtship displays belong to the species where males contribute little else to the relationship-think strutting grouse or dancing birds-of-paradise.

Detailed explanation-3: -Using crazy features, bright colors, shows of strength, rhythmic sounds, and special smells, they go all out to impress future mates. Humans have complex social behaviors, and females might show off as much as males do. But in most animals, males are usually the showy ones.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pairs may show courtship behaviors such as grooming each other, playing and wrestling, chasing each other or bumping and hip pushing each other. They will also sniff and lick each other, and a female may even position herself in front of her partner to tell him she’s ready.

Detailed explanation-5: -courtship, in animals, behaviour that results in mating and eventual reproduction. Courtship may be rather simple, involving a small number of chemical, visual, or auditory stimuli; or it may be a highly complex series of acts by two or more individuals, using several modes of communication.
