Rooster with large comb and head shaking

That's an interesting thought! I never considered it might be a display behavior.

That was the first thing i was thinking. I think most animal behaviors have a meaning or a purpose.

Ok my rooster has a comb that's a cross between a round pea shaped comb and a large mohok like comb. It's both. The pea thing is in the middle and it is floped to one side covering an eye and pulling on the other side of his face. He's seriously trying to shake it off his head. I don't think it's behavior since he isn't around other birds. I think it might be a temperature or blood flow thing. How did you get some of the darn thing removed?

That was a great metaphor! If you're able to get a very short video of him doing it I'm curious to see if it compares to what my boys do.

I have video but cannot find a place to post it here
