    Thanks Rolf.
    Yes they fight like any other bird believe it or not although they don't have claws they can do some serious damage with the beaks if they want to

    Like your 'Agitated Robin' Beryl, more 'killers' being observed here, though I'm not suggesting for one minute on this occasion.

    Wonderful - I love watching them squabble, but this looks like a real doosie of a fight.
