I should have added that unless one sees this image up close, one doesn't see the saliva and regurgitated food!! Ann.

They work as a team the Gannets, the animal families are different from humans.

Thank you to everybody who has taken time to look at the detailed view of this. I had never seen anything like this regurgitating feeding so close up! The gannet family is very special in its bonding.
