A biological ornament is a structure of an animal that appears to serve a decorative function rather than an ostensible, utilitarian function. Ornaments are used in displays to attract mates. An animal may shake, lengthen, or spread out its ornament in order to get the attention of the opposite sex, which will in turn choose the most attractive one. Ornaments are most often observed in males and picking an extravagantly ornamented male benefits females because those good genes will be passed on to her offspring, increasing their survival or reproductive fitness. These genes are considered good solely due to the fact that it will increase the likelihood that a female will be attracted to the male that carries them. These structures usually serve as Animal sexual behaviour sexual cues, which are sensory signals used lead to mating responses.
