Billing is part of the mating ritual for pigeons, doves and other bird species. After mutual preening the birds interlock bills and actually exchange food. This interaction may signify willingness to feed their offspring and is typically followed by mating. Enjoy.

Excellent series. They look like skilled lovers. The colors are pretty vivid like breeding plumage ???

Thanks for commenting, Hereford. I think the iridescent neck feather coloration for pigeons is year around.

Beautifully done, artesdecobo! Great coverage of a beautiful event....
(but I must be honest... I had to restrain myself from wanting to put a caption on #8, saying, "Please! I have a headache!!") :o)
