Pigeon drinking
Most people are used to seeing birds taking water into their bill and then tipping their head back to swallow it. Pigeons and doves are a family of birds that have developed a mouth and throat with enough suction that they do not need to tip their heads back to swallow liquids. Prince Rupert, BC, Oct 27, 2010.
