8:27 AM – Bluebirds, particularly the young ones, seem to be a quarrelsome lot. The next two videos illustrate this. In the first a couple of them are squabbling on the mealworm feeder.
Here a bluebird juvenile shares the water with a young house finch for a while, but finally he flies into the finch and drives him off. That part is in slow motion, since it happens so quickly.
And last, these three young bluebirds are just hanging out at the birdbath. They’re not drinking, or bathing. They remind me of delinquents loitering in front of a liquor store, waiting for trouble.
