Since you asked I just looked ...Presenting! lol. <br /><br />Since you asked I just looked it up... From wikipedia: "As a result of the continuous food supply, pigeon courtship rituals can be observed in urban parks at any time of the year. Males on the ground initially puff up feathers at the nape of the neck to increase their apparent size and thereby impress or attract attention, then they single out a female in the vicinity and approach at a rapid walk while emitting repetitive quiet notes, often bowing and turning as they approach. Initially, females invariably walk away or fly short distances, the males follow them at each stage. Persistence by the male will usually eventually cause the female to tolerate his proximity, at which point he will continue the bowing motion and very often turn full- or half-pirouettes in front of the female. Subsequent mating when observed is very brief with the male flapping his wings to maintain balance on the female. Sometimes the male and female beaks are locked together."Sarah Cloughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797857043816872742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347226127733474991.post-73449732313156913222011-01-24T17:01:37.909+00:002011-01-24T17:01:37.909+00:00What the heck is the one on the left doing?
