Or is this a bit weird

I've been helping her from work, but I've kept in touch with a few colleagues just so we all stay in the loop.

One colleague is a much older man, and over lockdown will often send me random pics of things - his dog, his garden etc . Yesterday he sent me a photo of two bees mating. I said 'must be due to spring season, as I saw two pigeons doing the same thing earlier, and that poor male bee is likely to die afterwards.'

He then said 'hope I don't come back as a bee in the next life then... you will kill me!'

This morning he's just sent me a message saying 'are the pigeons back?' Which I've ignored.

AIBU to think he's a pigeon pervert lol, or in all seriousness just a bit strange to be so fascinated by animals mating? Or would you take it as just harmless chat?

Sounds like he's trying to flirt

I'd not engage with him unless it's about work I think.

Yep, inappropriate flirting. Keep it to work chat.

Eeurrggghh.

Sounds like he's just a bit of an oddball and maybe a bit lonely. It could be a cack handed attempt to flirt too who knows.

**Sounds like he's trying to flirt

^This. But doing it badly, and in a bit of a weird way. I'd ignore it.

No YANBU he is a perv and his comment 'you will kill me' is a come on. Eurghhh.... ignore him from now on!

I would shut it down with.... the bee comment was inappropriate etc

Do not allow him to say "ooh sorry if I offended you, I ws only joking". Just repeat the comment was inappropriate
