Pigeons fighting

Back in July last year, as pigeons were preparing their nests, I witnessed a strange behaviour between two males. They were fighting ....with their wings!
So, I quickly picked up my camcorder and here is what I captured:




Have you ever seen such behaviour yourself?

Pigeons courting

In the following pictures, I got more than I bargained for. I witnessed a very strange behaviour from the female pigeon (on the right). She cuddled up to the male and got him to open his beak so she could pick up something. Whether she was trying to eat it, I don't know. Have you go any idea? Their courtship was quickly interrupted anyway.

She manages to push her beak inside his mouth.
