The light had turned green but I couldn’t move. Not because my car had broken down, but because three birds chose to have a street fight right in front of my car.
At first, I couldn’t figure out what was going on with all the squawking and strutting back and forth. I thought one of them was dead – the one that was lying down and being stomped on – and that they were trying to lift it up and take it home with them.
I watched for a couple of minutes, tapped my horn but they didn’t respond. The light went back to red and the cars behind me were upset that I was causing a delay. All the cars zipping past and the horn didn’t perturb these angry birds. I took several shots with my phone camera and decided to get down and lift the supposedly dead bird to the side walk.
To my surprise, when I got close enough they all took off and continued their squabble on the side walk. Now in retrospect, I wish I had taken a video of the unusual scene.

That looks like a magpie attacking a black bird and it’s mate trying to stop the magpie. Not nice nature is cruel

True Willow. Nature can certainly be harsh. I have no idea what the names of birds they are but they were different. I wonder what could cause such an attack?

Quite often it is an injured or sick bird with either a parent or mate trying to protect it!💜

It’s certainly not something that ever crossed my mind and the amazing thing was that they were boldly fighting right on the road with cars going back and forth.

Well, that was quite the squabble. Good for you not driving over the top of them. Some people would.

I just couldn’t even bring myself to try to manoeuvre to avoid running over them by any chance.

I too had a bird on the highway experience. This one was surprisingly uplifting. On a very busy four lane city highway I realized all four lanes were coming to a fast stop. I was one of the ones at the front … I knew the situation and was THRILLED to see all the other drivers watch in awe and appreciation of the other drivers as a family of geese proudly and calmly crossed the highway. We were nowhere near water or a lake or even a pond; this happening warmed my heart and cemented my belief that people are basically good … very good !! jan

What a heartwarming sight. Back in my neighbourhood in Houston, we lived close to a pond that even had a Duck crossing sign and occasionally a mother goose and her little ones would go waddling across 🙂
