Season of Goodwill - except for Blackbirds

I get used to the Starlings continual squabbling as they become impatient for their turn at the feeders but they do sit quietly next to each other a lot of the time. The same cannot be said for the Blackbirds. Just recently there have been several visiting at the same time and there is no way a Blackbird will tolerate another getting too close. As a result they spend more time chasing each other around the garden than they do feeding.

  1. Good morning John! Happy Christmas! it does entertain us though, seeing highly territorial birds like robins and blackbirds sorting out their disputes in my back garden. It's like a birdy episode of Dallas or Eastenders!

  3. Hello Matron. A very Happy Christmas to you.
    As the Blackbirds never seem to come to blows it can be very entertaining to watch. A definite improvement on Eastenders!
