What’s up with those little birds that chase bigger birds around?

Why do they hate each other?

Aerodynamics and little man syndrome, for starters.

Crows are known to rob the nests of other birds.

They used to raid my purple martin houses.

I saw a bird harassing a cat once. It was flying behind the cat pecking at its tail and the cat was trotting away half speed.

Not sure why the cat just didn't turn around and smack the bird.

I live at a 4 way stop in my neighborhood. My neighbor has a cat that likes to hang out in my azaleas during the day. When it walks home in the evening there’s a bird that sits on the stop sign and gives that cat hell until it gets to its house. Usually the cat doesn’t see it coming and jumps 3’ in the air when the bird catches him on the arse. This has gone on for years and the cat hasn’t figured it out.

You think the bird is being petty or does the cat have it coming? It sounds like they had a pretty bad falling out somewhere.

They probably got tired of the mockingbird's shite

Karens of the bird world. No one wants to deal with their shite either.

I've seen those little birds chasing an eagle. And I've seen a perched eagle catch the wrath of 20 crows. I don't know why they put up with it. Crows don't like Great Horned Owls either.
