Crested serpent eagles are territorial birds, and by the end of this short courting period of about ten days, they have each claimed their own patch of the nearby mountainsides, to which they disperse. Even those birds that do not find a suitable mate depart alone, and the raucous skies suddenly fall strangely silent.
短短十天左右的求偶期間，具有領域性的大冠鷲，彼此地盤也已分配妥當，並就近山腰覓好地點，各自帶開，即使找不到適合對象的鳥兒，也落寞而去，喧鬧的天際，霎時格外安靜。
