Courtship feeding is a behavior observed in many animal species, where one partner provides food to the other as part of the mating ritual. This act can serve to strengthen the bond between potential mates and demonstrate the provider's ability to gather resources, which may be attractive to the recipient. In species such as birds and insects, courtship feeding can play a crucial role in reproductive success. For example, male birds may present food to females to entice them to mate, while female insects may receive nourishment from males during or after mating, enhancing their reproductive output.
