Look at this ridiculously cute post from Reddit. That's a completely random street pigeon. Just in a strange human's lap, getting squished and petted and absolutely LOVING it

PvP (Pigeon vs Pigeon)

Laughing Dove

Spilopelia senegalensis

I don't know what was going on here. It appeared one was repeatedly pouncing on the other. Perhaps a mating display, competition for mates, competition for something else, or just play? If anyone knows, I would be interested.
