| Barn Owl is Angry! from Oregon Dept. of Fish & Wildlife |
Have you ever been dive-bombed by an angry bird? Were
you ever a witness to one bird attacking another? You better believe birds get angry! They become agitated in several different
situations, and to diverse degrees; most notably in defense of their:
- Territory
- Family
- Food Source or Sources
A tufted titmouse has defined his territory by
declaring his claim from the treetops of that area. In doing so, he’s attracted the attention of
a potential mate. She likes his vocalizations,
and the cut of his jib. Then in flies
another male tufted titmouse; this will never do! Our intrepid little friend got there first . . . Find out what happens

Connie, I read this on your ezine site and found it quite interesting. I love the photos you've included on the blog version.
ReplyDeleteInteresting and informative as usual!
Thanks, Shauna! I just love writing about my quirky birds! They are always entertaining--even today in the middle of a white out snow storm my birds were out in force. They lined the tree branches as they waited their turn at the feeders. Some weren't as patient as others!
