The Stall or "Packin’ a Lunch"
The male displays a magnificent stall while delivering a breakfast to the family. Likewise the female is capable of stopping on a dime as she perches above the nest. The young birds are often not as capable during their first flights and failing to stall before perching can leave them inverted like bats in trees.
