My bird buddies are an important part of my winter life as the snow and cold just keep on going. They're my "kids" for sure. Funny thing about the alpha guy is that he made an impressive showing of being the tough guy on site but when another male had the thought, "Ok, this sucks and I'm hungry, let's finish this axxhole!" and trotted up and challenged the strutter, he turned tail and ran off! That was fascinating. Seems that a bully is a bully regardless of the species and they're often not as tough as they seem or would like to think.
