That’s funny. I consider starlings and crows to be hoodlums because they keep the other birds from getting to the seed table. Our dog gets especially riled up over the crows. But now a mockingbird has taken up a defensive post so no one is getting any seed.
Definitely agree about the starlings, but we see very few around here nowadays. Wood pigeons just seem to have a truculent attitude as they rip the fruit trees to shreds. Now, I’d like to see your mockingbird. Sounds so entertaining!
