we got a pair of WBB's and at 3 weeks one started doing that around the other one. Then our one full grown tom started doing the same thing around the same chick. They are now about 6 weeks old, and it is very clear the dancer is a boy, and the other one is a female. Shich is bad news for us cuz now we have 3 boys and one girls.
