No need to cover your head - these birds won't bother you, they're made out of paper.

"We should go to Mexico on our honeymoon."

"Stop actin' weird Frank. You're my brother."

Watch two adorable winged things sweet talk each other in this short video. The meaning of their conversation is completely up to your interpretation.

Newsflash, relax, it's just a pile o' birds. This award-winning image by photographer Jose Luis Rodriguez depicts the European Bee-Eaters in a little cuddle formation. While they are found mainly in Northwest Europe, they holiday in Africa, Sri Lanka and India, subject to timeshare availability.
