Why are Northern Gannets known as the "birds of love"? The answer will be unveiled before your eyes: you will witness the truly unique and beautiful courtship behavior of the Northern Gannets. The female and male birds face each other, spread their wings, continuously shake their heads, rub their bills together, or preen each other's feathers with their bills. Finally, they both raise their heads, point their bills to the sky, and call out incessantly, as if announcing to their companions, "We are now a couple!" The locals describe this scene as "fencing" (in French, l'escrime). The Northern Gannets have earned the honorary title of "birds of love" due to their distinctive and famous "fencing-style kisses."
