The Beautiful Maroon Bird Of Southeast Asia — Ward's Trogon

Breeding season is between March and early May, and all signs point to the Ward's trogon being monogamous and mating for life. The Ward's trogons general disposition is one of quiet contemplation, but during mating season, you will hear a tommy gun rapid sequence of amour filled kwooooo notes. The trogons courting display is not often seen, and those that study the Ward's trogon in detail, have noted a behaviour of raising the tail to expose their luminous underbellies. However, others say this is no indication the Ward's trogon is in the mood for love, and the shaking and raising of a trogon tail-feather, is in fact a combative gesture designed to see off other males.
