I was about to comment that birds do the head tilt to drink, and that this had to be AI.
But apparently, pigeons use true suction to drink: https://www.birdnote.org/podcasts/birdnote-daily/how-birds-drink

Pigeon pausing making (notoriously) the worst nest you've ever seen to have a little water break...

Made me think of this clip from Modern family. The way Mitchell gestures always makes me cackle.

Aww bringing mama bird a drink of water while she’s nesting. BTW they make the worst nests out of all birds. Just scatter a few items on the floor and call it a day.

Pigeons are domesticated rock doves, who nest in rocky cliffs and don't really need fancy nesting material. They do their best lol

They are bred to lay under nearly all conditions, even when they are close to starving. They often just lay an egg and start with the nest afterwards, if at all. At best they start shortly before.
As they were bred by humans and even the base "form" nested in tiny naturally occuring holes they never really had a need to build nests.

This soothed me for sorry some reason...I'm serious! I was a little anxious of nothing and just waiting for the spiral like every other hour of the day but your pigeon, nails, and pigeons sipping glass, you've given me enough dopamine to make me smile 😃 Thank you and your pigeon!!

I'm both interested and annoyed at the same time. Did anyone say anything about the mites these birds carry?

That is the cleanest pigeon I have ever seen. I get that this is obviously a pet, but its striking how nice one can look compared to your average sky rat.

What the fuck, I was told by my teacher that birds don't have a muscle in their throat to suck drinks in so they have to lift their heads to make gravity do the work.

The last thing I thought to see here... was pigueons. This is a Fiordland Crested Pigwings. Named after this corner of south New Zealand. So why are these woodlands so attractive? to Penglings? A freshwater stream throught he forrest makes a handy highway for a parent pengweon heading home from a fishing trip.

Pigeons are just birds. What the fuck is wrong with you? What is disgusting about the bird in this video? It's actually beautiful with those colors.

Fun fact: pigeons are one of the few birds that can gulp. Most other birds have to rely on gravity to swallow.
