The males perform various courtship displays in order to attract mates. They have what is called a shuttle display where they hover about 10–15 cm in front of a female, sing, flare their bright gorget and move up, down, left and right in an attempt to impress the potential mate. They spread their tail feathers while doing this and wave them side to side. During normal flight, they beat their wings constantly at a fairly regular frequency.

The fragrance of roast lamb soon attracts an oracle monger who proceeds to hover about the scene in quest of a free meal, as is the custom among oracle-mongers. He is driven off with a good thrashing. Trygaeus goes indoors to prepare for his wedding and the Chorus steps forward again for another parabasis. The Chorus sings lovingly of winter afternoons spent with friends in front of a kitchen fire in the countryside in times of peace when rain soaks into the newly sown fields and there is nothing to do but enjoy the good life.

In 1974, Polynesian Dances of Bellona (Mungiki), which included suahongi form and which had been forbidden to be performed during the 1940s by the Christian missionaries, was revived and recorded in Honiara. Suahongi, performed by men, is enacted at the conclusion of the manga'e ceremony, a ritual of sharing the surplus harvest of fish and garden crops. The dance is performed to songs which are set in the form of "feature call and response, speech–song" and highly rhythmic; music notes included the short history of the island of Bellona. At Rennel (Munggava) and Bellona (Mungiki), two islands administered by Solomon Islands, dance and music were banned by the missionaries, but revived during World War II. Suahongi (meaning a "circle", or to "hover about"), is an important dance form in the Bellonese tradition.

One reason for the poet's re-entry into a field in which he had experienced past failures was quite possibly the opportunity it presented him to hover about Scharff at the Royal Theatre. He revised his 1832 opera The Raven and, when it played in Copenhagen on 23 April 1865, Scharff portrayed a vampire who sucked the blood of a young man on his wedding night. In 1871, Bournonville composed a ballet based on Andersen's "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" with the work's principal role intended for Scharff, but the dancer chipped a kneecap during a rehearsal of The Troubadour in November 1871 and, as a result, was forced to bring his career as a dancer to an end. He turned to acting without extraordinary success, married the ballerina Elvida Møller in 1874 (who eventually disappeared from his life), and spent his last years in the St. Hans insane asylum, where he died in 1912.
