During courtship behaviour, the Indian silverbill male bird can be seen singing, stretching, and twisting towards the Indian silverbill female bird. The male bird grabs a stem and drops it near the female bird. It starts bobbing its head up and down while standing erect with the tail pointing down. Then turns and points its tail towards the female while bobbing its head up and down. Then the male starts to sing and bob up and down by bending and stretching its legs.
