One of the things I find most fascinating about birds is how they interact with one another. Whenever two or more get to within close range of each other, you can bet that some form of drama is bound to unfold. At times they squawk and fight over what appears to be the most mundane of issues, such as the rights to a tiny feeding area when a nearby expanse, as far as the eye can see and empty of other birds, yields just as much food.
The most serious disagreements, I've found, are settled by a court of bird law, where jurisprudence is dispensed in short order.

It disappeared from the post but I lifted the image address and how funny.
I like the ibis lurking in the background. Excellent storytelling, SK.
