Mind your manners

This must have been a young starling whose mom didn't educate him in bird etiquette. He landed on this branch and cykked right up to the jay.
The jay wouldn't have any of this and immediately turned his back on him.
The starling wouldn't budge an inch and ultimately the jay moved away.

Barb, love this jay and starling series. Two of the bossiest birds in the birdworld beak to beak! Beautiful pictures! I know you are North but I can't believe the ice on the branches already-yikes!

Starlings are never on my good side, but I do love how they look in the winter. Very photographic! ...And they are bullies! Even big bad bullies like Blue Jays cringe...

Loved these photos!
