“I came across a large number of birds feeding by the roadside on grain that had been thrown there, possibly intentionally thrown to feed them. It looked like some sort of lentil.
“The Zebra Doves (Geopelia striata) were feeding furiously on it, often taking one grain after the other rapidly. It was hard to image this.
“The image below shows an immature bird feeding.
“A video of the activity in real time is shown below.
“To better show the ‘multiple grain feeding’ activity, I extracted numerous images from the video, cropped them to focus on the activity and then did a video animation in slow motion, see below.
