Pigeons’ love
Let’s appreciate how in the second gif the couple of pigeons were separated. But pigeons are lifelong faithful to their mate, that’s why in the third, when another female approached, the male was practically saying: Go away bitch! I’m married! And in the fourth and fifth gif they were happily reunited.
