I'm not to sure anymore, if only the male Superb Fairy-wrens get the girl of their desire? I watched the same male I observed last week today. He was after this girl, and he followed her into the bushes.
Here they are:
the boy 
and the one he followed, I,m sure they are lovers 
Sorry, I think I didn't explain very well what I meant. I believe some of the male wrens, although not in breeding plumage, do have partners. This one I took photos of last week, performing a ritual to impress the female, certainly seems to be successful.

Against the odds, or against the rules??? Saw them a minute ago, they are still together. Is that a bit like "having sex before mariage?"
