THESE LOVE BIRDS can’t keep their beaks off each other as they share a very public display of affection. However this is not really the case, as the two greenfinch birds are in fact fighting with one another to claim their share of the food. The close up photographs were taken by Italian photographer Marco Redaelli, 40, as the two birds scrap mid-air at a forest in Trezzo sull'Adda, Italy. “In the photos we see two greenfinch birds quarreling for the food and for the ownership of the bird feeder,” explains Marco, of Busnago, Italy.
