Pigeons and various other birds seem to bob their heads backwards and forwards in a bizarre manner, which seems to be a lot of hard work. I was watching some in front of my garage and dug out the high speed camera to see what is going on.
Read more about this experiment.
Garage science is a blog of science experiments you probably can't or shouldn't do at home

This is always what I had thought to be the case, but I've just observed a pigeon standing very still and was still bobbing. Now I'm confused.
