Instantly growing a skin beard
You know how some human women are into facial hair? Female Temminck's tragopans (a type of pheasant) are into bright blue skin beards. Happily, the male of the species sports such a thing, but he usually keeps it hidden until it's time to court a lady bird. Basically, things go down like this: "I love you enough to show you my skin beard now, baby. Wanna screw?" Male tragopans are huge teases, incidentally.

Inflating a giant heart-shaped pouch
Male frigatebirds have a red pouch that they inflate to attract mates. When viewed straight-on, it tends to look like the frigatebird is holding a gigantic heart-shaped valentine. There's been no word regarding whether female frigatebirds are disappointed when they find out there's no chocolate inside.

Becoming a giant smiley face
It's not that unusual for a bird to perform a song and dance routine to attract a mating partner, but no bird is as showy as the male six-plumed bird of paradise. After performing some secret bird ninja moves, the male transforms into a giant black and neon blue smiley face. Yes, that thing is a bird.
