I do pigeons move their heads like that when they walk?
I think all birds walk like this, but pigeons are the only birds I've seen walking recently.

You know what I mean, their head moves back and forth when they walk. I'm curious why this is. Maybe I should study the bird anatomy more closely to see how the muscles and such work.
