Skip has got you well covered.
My immediate thought on the behavior is that the female is a male in with another male. The behavior you described reminds me of how males will "battle". I'll see if I can find a video so that you can see if the behavior is similar.
In the meantime I'd follow Skips recommendations.
Edit - can't seem to find any videos of the behavior at the moment.
