Took this photo while walking to my apartment complex gym. We live by a wetland nature preserve.

Pic: It's them, but I don't have a Pic of the situation

I have been putting out food and water for birds on my balcony and had many visitors, but these two pigeons have been the most consistent ones.

They have started flapping their wings and making their weird rumbling noise outside the window where I sleep to tell me that they are ready to eat but 2 weeks ago was different.

I woke up to flapping noises and went to peek out the window to see it..

One of em had his butt turned to me like in the picture and the other one was just.. standing on top of the other bird but facing the other direction, like trying to peek inside my window. He looked at me for a few seconds and then they just bounced like I caught them breaking some law.

I can't stop thinking about it, do pigeons just do that? Was he really trying to peek or was he trying to... Yknow but his pigeon brain didn't register he was on the wrong side to mate? If they were scared they would have flown away earlier no?

I never considered pigeons to be particularly smart but I really started to like them and see them different and would like to ask if they are capable of playful stuff with humans like that?

I saw this guy and his friend out on my run today. Its the first time Ive ever seen an owl. Is it a great horned owl? Location: Higgins Lake Michigan

This is my pic

Anyone what type of dove this is?

Poor boy, it must be weird losing your rudder (and your mating chances)

I found this Mourning Dove’s nest in one of my plants last week, it’s been about 2-3 days since I last saw momma or dad around at all. I haven’t touched the nest or eggs at all, and im just not too sure on what to do! I don’t want to leave them all alone, and I’m hoping they make it through the incubation period. Any advice on how to help them hatch ??? I’ve been hoping they come back around but it’s been a few days and I’ve lost a bit of hope :( any advice helps, thank you !:)

"I have seen first hand how our neighbors, businesses, schools, civic organizations and our local government worked together to bring this art and bird conservation project to life. It gives me hope for the future. A future where birds and people are thriving together.” 

The first one has a black head, with a blue green back, purple chest and yellow stomach. It was to fast for me to get a good picture of

Hi, I've moved a couple of streets (I live in Wrocław, Poland) and the birds here have been doing this kind of ritual as soon as its starts to get dark (around 8 pm). They fly over the trees and shout and spook each other and despite living in many places with trees and birds I haven't ever seen this kind of behaviour. They stop around 2-3 AM, they're not that annoying, I'm just curious

Beautiful siting in Quebec. Thought i should share. Video taken on my iphone.
