I can do that on my flying mount on WoW... Pretty impressive a pigeon can do it... or is that a dove?

I distinctly recall a documentary showing birds do this to dodge predators. Clearly it's not doing that here so... Courtship?

He was probably taught to do this, explaining why he lands right after : he was expecting a treat

It's a bred issue. If you go too far they can't fly without crashing on their faces.

Because they are sentient being who also like to have fun. They also taste quite nice with BBQ sauce.

It may be easier for it to finish the flip, rather than try to rotate back to level against its previous pivot move.

Tumbler pigeons - they backflip multiple times to drop in flight and dodge predators. You can overbreed and they crash into the ground.

Do they also get offended easily and fight the patriarchy?

I don't think any tumblr anythings are getting any, let alone enough to overbreed.
