loving pigeons

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

   Hello steemians,

 I want to share  pictures of loving pigeons ...



 The pigeons are good, timid and are a symbol of peace and love.  They have been known to society for centuries, and some peoples have deified them.
Later they were used as postmen ...  The goddess of love - Aphrodite, is often painted with a dove nearby. 





 Pigeons fall in love and remain faithful to one another until death divides them!  They share the care of raising their offspring. They  alternate to lay on the eggs while the little ones hatch and share the  responsibility for feeding the chickens as they grow up. These features retain their established place in romantic literature, religion and art. 





         A few curious facts about pigeons :


  •  The question is often asked, "Why do pigeons shake their heads as they walk?"
    The answer is a little ridiculous.
    They see very good still objects, but when something moves, they need help to focus.
    With every step they make, they move their head and this helps them to orient and better perception.
  •  How fast do fly?
    Typically, at a speed of between 70 and 80 km / h. 


  Positive and smiling day friends
