It is unclear if all three Rothschild specimens came via Dunstall or if the two juvenile males obtained sometime before 1903 came from another supplier like Van Duivenbode. Like the von Berlepsch trade-skins described by Kleinschmidt, all three of the Rothschild specimens were also of unknown provenance. In 1931 the three Rothschild specimens were sold, along with the entire Rothschild ornithological collection, to the American Museum of Natural History in

A low intensity and truncated instance of the hop and shake display was documented on one occasion. While brief and incomplete, it nevertheless included enough of the behaviors identifying postures and action patterns to be diagnosable. The observed elements were: standing upright on the court floor, fluttering the throat whiskers, “opening” the frontal crest, hopping in place, dipping the upper body and giving an exaggerated ruffling of the flank plumes and ritualized shake of the upper body. No distinct hop was observed, but otherwise the behavior pattern was very similar to the hop and shake of
