Birds in my winter garden - part 8

Posted by
Stephen (Canberra, Australia) on 28 July 2016 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

A pair of Crested Pigeons - one keeps watch while the other pecks at the food in the bird feeder. As you can see here, they like to select the best seeds (sunflower) and flick away other seeds they don't like.

Oh yes, I know that behavior well. Some of the birds that visit my feeders behave the same way. The seeds go flying. A wonderful capture of this lovely pair.
