I am happy to open round 14 of Show Me A Photo Contest in Feathered Friends Community.

Spring is the season of love and birds in the Northern hemisphere have their mating season now and this is the theme proposed by @oks2crypto

MATING BIRDS

The birds have amazing courting behaviour, singing and dancing to attract females, males can work very hard to be allowed to mate.

Here are some couples of pigeons. They can be easily spotted as they are everywhere and males have also to deserve the attention from the females. I am sure you all have seen how sometimes two or three males are chasing one female, or just one will dance and turn around showing his quality.

The last image of doves shows how acrobatic and well balanced they are.
