Tail bobbing (or docking) started in 1796 but was banned in 2007 in the UK. The practice started because it was cheaper to own a docked dog (dog's with natural tails cost more money to keep because of taxes). Of course this no longer applies and today the operation is performed for cosmetic purposes.

At Halloween, we always go bobbing for apples.
The tradition of bobbing for apples came from the celebration of Roman festivals. There was a day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. The symbol of Pomona is the apple. This Roman festival was incorporated into the Celtic celebration of Samhain when Rome invaded the Celts. Bobbing for apples that is practiced today on Halloween comes from these ancient practices.

Both males and females will perform arm waving, head bobbing, throat puffing, tail flicking and chasing. See the related link for more details.
Could be that the one bobbing its head is a baby and the bird is begging for food from the other bird.
