This male must be getting 'points' for next mating season. Pokeberries are a delight for many bird species; NOT so for humans.
This 'passing of a berry' is part of their mating behavior.
Best viewed in 'original' size.

My wife's favorite bird. They are fun to watch bathing, also. Nice photo.

You've captured well a sense that this is a private moment. But then, I guess birds don't really think about privacy.
