post a commentBeautiful!
Wow amazing pic. It seems taken from National Greographic!
yeah, here in Puerto Rico, there are too many doves(is that what there called?)and you can never tell...
Well, it looks like a wild love. It's cute anyway.
Oh Yes, I love this. Love pictures of animals!
mouth sex.
I really hope they are having sex. Look at those eyes! Closed. The one on the right has completely engulfed the other's beak with it's own. Sexy.
Maybe fighting then make-up sex.
Ah...os pombos do Rio de Janeiro!
What an absolutely gorgeous 'action' shot! I think they're 'courting' each other ;)
Perfect timing!
Aww! I looks like they're kissing! How adorable.
i lol'd.
I love pigeons the ones in Toronto have pearly pink and green feathers they're beautiful! Everyone hates them but I'm in defense of the pigeons haha.
!!
Let's split the difference and say they're dancing!
Rio is beautiful!!!
Rio is loved!!!
i always knew u had a little bit of artist in u.
congrats!
Either way, incredible photo. Very nice, as usual. I like seeing non-sartorial work on here too.
this seems like that one pigeon tries a sex but abother refuses it.
precious moment!
So Latin! They are doing both!
I love this photo! Wonderful!Perfect!
This photo really needs a caption.
how bout:
"Pow! Right in the kisser!"

Are you having fun in Rio? Let´s take a beer in Lapa tomorrow? :p
I think they are having sex, passionate sex:)
absolutely LOVE the monotone layering in contrast with the bright red boots. it's not a look i would wear but they pull it off real nice. the texture of the jacket is what brings the whole look together. in a word, FABULOUS.
"sometimes it looks similar."
As with humans.
The same can be said about my parents.
lolz.
Scott! Do you have a bodyguard? How do you walk around Copacabana with a 5d and not get mugged? Our friends in Morro do Cantagalo are curious.
My Carioca friends always said just bring a sunga, 20 reais, maconha y nada mais. That might be more fun but you miss the good fotos.
Yaaayyy! You're in my hometown! hope to see tons of pics!
i used to have birds as pets, and that's not how they have sex lol, but cool picture anyways
laughs. i like your comments. :P
- J
only when its good!! sex, that is...hahaha, love your site, it's the FIRST fashion blog I open every day and sets the standards for all the others!
Rachel in NY
Actually, I thought it looked remarkably like the pas de deux from Romeo & Juliet ;-)
Birdy Style.
Capoeira!!
lol! their having mad SEX!!! :D
the best sex is when you're fighting anyway ;)
Tel from KS
LOL! this is probably one of the funniest comments i've ever read: absolutely LOVE the monotone layering in contrast with the bright red boots. it's not a look i would wear but they pull it off real nice. the texture of the jacket is what brings the whole look together. in a word, FABULOUS.
you have a fantastic sense of humor. and sart, thanks for the gorgeous photo. you even manage to make filthy pigeons look beautiful.
Please tell me you posted this after a few drinks.
they might be getting ready to have sex. I saw birds acting like that once, and then start mating. great shot.
It's about to be a... what? BIRD FIGHT!*
bahahaha
*Google Brooke Valentine's "Girl Fight" if you are slow on the uptake.
Coincidence that the thing I have to type in for word verification is "clothy?!"
Stunning! Absolutely stunning picture!
Does it matter whether they are fighting or having sex - they will hopefully just kill each other! I hate them, they are flying rats.......vermin.
It looks like they are kissing each other... Lovely.
Sex and fighting...it's almost the same thing!!
Nice pic.
The first in my life I can see beauty in pigeons...
Foreplay!?!
It is a mom pigeon feeding her baby, not fighting.
Yes I cannot separate the difference here at home either ...
they fight and make love they fight and make love they fight and make love they fight and make love they fight and make love they fight and make love they fight and make love
They're fighting. I took a similar picture from my window, it seems pigeons have a hierarchy, they were fighting in order to determine which pigeon was the boss.
My picture is lousy (high iso, low light, it's very noisy), but if you care to see it, it's here:

Anyway, all of your pictures of Rio make me feel like packing summer dresses and get there at the speed of light.
Well, isn't he a casanova! ;)
kiss kiss love love
with so much amazing things hapening in rio, beautiful people, you are disapointing...birds?
whats that?i´m disapointed..
where are the peoplew we have amazing...not models, but real and brazilian style..i didnt saw yet...
I don't think it's either...just a spontanious kiss...look how she's caught off guard!
this shot has a timelessness that fascinated me. How many cobblestone squares over the centuries have been the scene of two pigeons battling for dominance? This picture could be from any age of the western culture.
The perfect composition is so understated as to be utterly invisible.
It's so funny that you just happened to be near these two birds and you caught them...red handed
to the seasoned birdwatcher, that is a mother rock dove feeding its nearly grown chick. Unnerving, all the same.
i think they're kissing
has anyone who contributed to this comment page seen a fight or sex before? the two look nothing alike. unless we're talking about greco-roman wrestling, of course.
hahah
They are not fighting. Male and female do that with their beaks always before they copulate.
Pigeon observer and dearest friend.
awwhh...love birds kissing!
"has anyone who contributed to this comment page seen a fight or sex before? the two look nothing alike. unless we're talking about greco-roman wrestling, of course."
Ha ha ha good point! But of course if one is suddenly frozen as a single frame it could look like either...
And many a small child has been traumatised by catching their parents in a passionate clasp. "Daddy! Stop hurting Mummy like that!"
Sometimes, it is the same thing
wow... all of you r wierd (and funny!)... they're just fighting over food.... "pigeon sex"... u people, seriously.... ^_^
