fight? For what?

Recently I found two woodpigeons fighting in our backgarden. One sat on the other for a few seconds at one point. After the fight finished, there were feathers on the grass. I guess that means that is was a real fight. Please could you give an idea as to what they were fighting about. Thanks

Almost certainly over a woman.

Could be territory, too.
