CommentBrolgas are, of course, famous for their dance routines. Here a male (left) and female (right), seen at Western Lagoon, WTP, are engaging in a display but perhaps just a practice one or dress rehearsal since they did not continue on further to do the full performance of tossing grass into the air and circling around each other, heads bobbing. The slightly smaller dewlap and smaller size of the one on the right suggests it is a female compared to what seems to be the male on the left.
