Got you!
This is a female roller. The damage of its forehead plumage shows, they are mating (May 2014).

Hi Jo,when the male mounts, he fixates himself with the bill in the front head feathers of the female (I have some pictures of this). I do not like these permanent allegations. If I tell it is real nature, then it is.

could you please explain the relation between this damaged 'nose' and mating?it rather looks like the tipical damage of an aviary-kept bird...
