(I typed this same post yesterday but, for some reason, it doesn't show up
Don't know why. So here it is again)
I watched 2 of my new (adult) Homers feeding each other yesterday. I presume he was feeding her pigeon milk as the behavior & sound was the same as when the parents have fed babies - - - puff up / shake / "watery sound" produced / beak shoved in "feeder's" beak / Mmmmmm.
Is this normal? I've never 'heard' any of you mention it. Might this be part of this new pair's mating ritual? They did have 1 egg at the time - and the other came a few hours after I watched this (they're now sitting on dummy eggs!)
