The Northern Gannet performs courtship displays, often using ritualistic postures. The most classic display is the one showing the bird with its beak pointed skyward.
Both partners practice beak-to-beak and head shaking to communicate.
Other postures may be used as threats during territorial disputes, but violent physical contact is avoided due to the danger of falling from rocky ledges. These displays are, in a way, warning signals sent to other birds to defend small nesting sites and each other's territory.
Pair bonds last a lifetime, and each pair typically returns to the same nesting site year after year.
