It could be a male-female interaction. My immediate interpretation was that the smaller bird on the right was a juvenile pestering the adult for food. One trouble with birds is that you can’t ask them why they do something
Great shots Ron. Looks like he has 3 front toes in the first picture, as most birds do and two in the 4th picture. I'd be angry too if someone bit my toe off.

Thanks Clark. I think they're both males..females have a lighter coloured back. The juveniles have grey eyes... This is a juvenile female, note the lighter colour on the back..

Thanks Jo, I reckon you're right, I never noticed that...
