Dollar and Sex

I thought I got a nice pair of Dollarbirds singing side by side, and then .....


OK, I was stunned momentarily before my finger get busy with the shutter button. Oh my!

Hi
Great record. Dr Wee would be very interested in your photos as it
completes the full cycle of dollar bird re-production activity..

Sometimes the male dollar bird does not like to Mount the female,
so they connect each in mid air and spin down
from high in the air.

One Bird grabs the other by the neck..

then they join backsides.

These pics are not clear but I have waited over 2 years and still cannot
get a decent shot.. its very difficult.

Hi Allan
Thanks for your pictures. Didn't know they can do that mid-air. I be more than stunned if I see that :bigeyes:
