A pair of parakeets have been photographed giving each other a peck on the beak in mid-air. 

The image, taken from a series of dramatic photos from photographer Vishesh Kamboj, 37, was taken in Gurdaspur, Punjab, India. 

The male and female parakeet can be seen squaring up to each other, before clashing in mid-air but finishing their quarrel with a peck on the beak.  

According to the photographer, the male and female parakeets were sat on a branch ‘looking fairly happy’ before a flight broke out between them.

‘Then, they suddenly flew up into the air,’ Vishesh said. 

‘Even though I was at some distance from where the action was going on I didn’t hesitate and tried to start snapping as quickly as I could.

‘The fight might have taken place because of a dispute over food, territory or perhaps a mating issue.’

 Vishesh added that capturing the tiff was one of the highlights of his time in lockdown during the coronavirus epidemic so far.

He said: ‘Initially I felt frustrated being at home and not being able to go out and photograph birds.

‘But, had there been no lockdown I probably wouldn’t have been able to have got this unique picture so close to home.’
