Bird Fight

I saw this last weekend looking out our home office window

May 16, 2017

Try to picture this if you will
as i did out my window sill.
On this bright sunny springtime morn
in my green fresh mown sideyard lawn.

Blackbird straddled on his foes wings
pinned to the grass but neither sings.
Each of them pecking beak to beak
so long, i continued to peek.

Their flock came in and walked around
spectating through round after round.
Twas the funniest wrestling match
i ever had the luck to catch.

Their friends inflight then flew away
bored i guess at this long foray.
No one was hurt, no loss, no win
doubt i'll see such a fight again

Delightful sharing of your observation. Your choice of words painted a spot-on sense of the wide-eyed spectacle. If only all such creature against creature could end with no loss, no win.

Birds are quite territorial.

A picture would have been great, but in the spur of the moment sometimes we forget and sometimes a camera just isn't available.

I look out on my backyard where we have a bird feeder, so I see a lot of activity. Recently I saw about five sparrows beating up on one. That lone sparrow seemed pretty good at taking on all of them. And then last week, I saw a large hawk apparently descend from my roof down over the top of a 7 foot concrete block fence to a parking lot under construction behind my house. I hope that hawk caught one of those cats in the open that have been harassing our birds. ;-)

Blackbirds can be very aggressive if you go near their nest. I have been attacked while riding my bike; I was glad to be wearing a helmet. Thank you for sharing the experience, Budd. Best regards,

Regis

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
