Haha! in the grebes case it is to attract the females. Both males and females look alike but I think the males grow a more pronounced tuft for the courtship :-)
Love the tufts on its head...when my sister was a baby she had one such tuft on her head :)
cute and lovely!
Thanks Alice! Yes, I think he is dressed to impress :-)
He has his best feathers on in this wonderful series!
