I have also seen wild birds fighting over territory and it is magnificent and terrifying. I have more than once thought it's a really good thing for us that birds are usually small -- if in our species development early on we had to compete with really large parrots (5 or 6 feet tall), I don't know that primates would have done so well. They ARE dinosaurs, after all!

I also enjoy watching the territorial birds dogfight for over the backyard - amazing ability and skills - brilliant stuff. I would suggest that is what tens of millions of years of evolution can do for you. We need to practice A LOT MORE! :) *flapping arms at desk...* hmmmm.... Long way to go for our species before we master that lill trick natively. cheers Darryl.
