I saw a similar type of behaviour about three years ago in this Manas itself. Please note here that the squirrel is marking its area by peeling the barks of the tree just in front of him.

The male bird started raising its tail upwards slowly and started moving its wings forwards from backwards.

The female bird was watching its partner and then she also spread its wings the same way as the male one was doing.
