Turf war

 One Rosella was already sitting in my shrub, when two more dropped in. That's when the action started, screaming and feathers flying. I was too close to get sharper photos, here is the way the drama unfolded.

I'm not sure that Crimson Rosellas are fighting in this photo, laza. I suspect it's part of their socialising behaviour. I've seen Adelaide Rosellas do likewise without any semblance of fighting involved.

Fantastic shots and fascinating behaviour.

#2 and #3, the birds are like mirror images of each other.

If anyone can fight fabulously, it'd be birds. :)

I love your analysis Woko. Next time I get reprimanded by someone anywhere (and on the forum), I will try that argument: Sorry, I’m just socialising wink
