From Dane D Ward

Female Eastern Screech Owl being woken up from sleeping by an early morning Male Northern Cardinal that was making a lot of noise.

You can see the mad look on her face even from a distance. "SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO SLEEP HERE?"

Maybe it also considers a cardinal midnight snack. :)

    He's a bit too large to be made a meal of, but I know the GHO will sneak attack eagles in their sleep despite the eagle being many times larger. I wonder if little owls participate in that type of behavior as well... While he may not get muched on, getting a flying dropkick to the head while asleep still would not be pleasant.

    This is probably the favorite gif I've made here. GHO getting back at his Bald Eagle nemesis

    Ok, so he knows that. :)

    Yes, indeed.

    Birds don't seem to actually fight physically very often from what I've seen and read about. From the smallest to largest, they all seem to have some understanding of how fragile they all are, and they more so poke and taunt each other like little kids until one gets so annoyed and storms off. 😄

    It pretty much only seems to be during nesting times where there are babies to protect that things come to actual violence, but that's pretty understandable. Who doesn't want to keep their precious little ones safe?
