1:45 AM – These quarrelsome birds are female House Finches. They don’t seem to like sharing with each other, and sometimes other bird species. In the first video, a mild and innocent sparrow is ejected from the feeder. In the second it’s a round-robin melee involving the lady finches, and a couple of sparrows taking a few hits along the way. During the slow motion segments you can hear them shrieking at each other. They’re acting like wild animals.
