It is very interesting to see that cherryheads males are like teenage boys, they all have different approaches to the girls. I keep my boys and girls separated for most of the year to help keep the girls' stress levels to a minimum. Now is the time I put them together. Okay, my biggest male is a typical horn dog. Chases any skirt he sees.

After one girl:

Then another:

My medium male preferred the sensitive route, he instead focused on eating and acting nonchalant. He ignored the girls and just gave them something to look at:

Then, he used food to bring the girls to him. One girl:

Two girls:

Three girls:

Then of course the horn dog chases them all away.

Our littlest male simplified his act. He went for the BIG girls and trapped them.

Well, I think the boys should start working together. Your medium male has wingman potential - bring the ladies over and call your buddies in.
