The starlings enjoying my backyard birdfeeders each morning are happy to display their tendency to initiate violence to keep other birds away from food they want. However they appear to be lacking in intelligence and loyalty. Often they quickly reverse their attack and go after their own accomplice in crime. The fat starling on the right kept the starling on the suet cage's attention, while the sneaky one snuck up from behind. Inexplicably, at the last moment the attacker reversed direction and scared to bird poo out of fat boy. (These birds are very entertaining!) Enjoy.
