#Mr&Mrs #Pigeon for #BirdOfTheDay 😄 🥰
#Bird 🪶 #Pigeons #PigeonOfTheDay #Nature #Wildlife #Birding #BirdWatching #BirdPhotography
Two pigeons sit in a tree with a background of green leaves. Both birds are grey with irridescent green and purple feathers on their breasts. To the left, the head and neck of the first pigeon as it leans in/lunges towards the second pigeon with it's eye half closed and beak open. The second pigeon leans away to the right as if trying to avoid contact with the first pigeon. The first pigeon looks like it's leaning in for a peck/kiss or to shout in the ear of the second pigeon - who looks really fed up and unimpressed!
