Sometimes I have the rare luck of seeing some birds doing mating rituals and mating dances as well as bonding rituals. On these rare occasions I am lucky when I have my camera with me and get some nice closup shots of the birds like in these pictures here. I know we humans probably interpret a little bit more into some of these acts but I really think that there is not only love that exist in our humand world but also in the animal world and it is more than hormones and reproduction to it. I am happy that I was lucky to already be able to take some nice bird pictures that show this ♥️ Love ♥️ if we want to call it like that.
I hope I will have some nice moments like these also in the future and that I can watch several nice animal and bird action some time soon.
