Hi All,
   While watching two Blue Jays squabble yesterday I noted a behaviour that=
 I hadn't observed before. Both birds stopped fighting and placed their hea=
ds, opposite each other, flat on the surface of my deck where the dispute w=
as taking place. They repeated this action a few times holding the position=
 for a few seconds each time. One bird then flew off and the remaining bird=
 did the action one more time before leaving.
   Has anyone ever seen this behaviour? What was the meaning of this odd be=
haviour?  All the best.=20
