1:54 I love how after the Blue Jay jumpscares the Mourning Dove, the Dove just looks back at the camera for a moment, looking for answers “What Is This Man Even Talking About?”
actually since pigeons see things best from the side, the pigeon was turning its head to us, but it was turning its EYE at the bluejay, to get a closer look at the source of this incredible sass.
Birds seen here are: - Mourning Dove - Common Grackle (the one that looks like a crow's idiot cousin and keeps coming back to scare the dove) - Sparrow? (Similar colouring but I'm not sure since it gets whapped and flees so quickly) - Blue Jay (fascinating, hilarious little assholes.) - Red-winged Blackbird (kind of rare to see) Source: I live in the same province and grew up watching these birds.
@@Latenivenatrix_McmasteraeBlue Jays are common where I'm at (SE Oklahoma), and I also like to see the Northern Cardinals in the fall and winter, and those black birds in the video (Common Grackles) are everywhere.
They may be called "Bullies of the Bird Feeder," but they're so cute! 😂 I've only seen mourning doves box each other. Never witnessed them fight outside their own species.
same here ours are the bottom of the pecking order where i live, we moved a few years ago and 1 state away almost all of the finches were reversed in the pecking order...
Birds of Peace, my tailfeathers. I got Mourning Doves at my feeder and they're constantly slapping each other. BUT, I also have a gang of Starlings that like that feeder, so a young Starling got fed up with the biggest Dove's attitude and jumped on it's back, bit it in the nape of the neck, and pulled out some feathers. Peck around and find out.
birds act differently in different areas, our morning doves our the bottom rung along with the hummingbirds, an example is me moving 1 state away and the goldfinches and house finches reversed their spots from being dominant to submissive and vice versa
My dad used to have a tray he'd fill with seeds and peanuts for the birds and squirrels - he'd place it at the far end of the backyard to give the birds/squirrels some space away from us and we'd sit and watch them - every time the mourning doves came around, it was complete anarchy as they would literally knock other birds out of the way to feed - I was shocked - how can a bird known to have been a symbol of peace act so aggressively?
They are the same everywhere. Here in Chile I feed birds on my balcony and we also have mourning doves. They are honest assholes that hate sharing. Other bird species can eat at the same time but not the doves. Not even with themselves (unless it's with their partner). I love them non the less. They are just so cute!
pigeons are bigger versions of doves i have three and oh boy do they like to slap when they’re grumpy which is pretty common behaviour they’re territorial and big bullies but they deserve love they’re so sweet when they’re not trying to protect their little area
Toughest bird I've seen at at a feeder was a Red-Shafted Flicker. It nailed anything that came around when it was eating. The only bird it tolerated was a Red-Breasted Nuthatch. They often appeared together. The nuthatch seemed to follow the flicker around looking for leftovers
I’ve only had my feeder for like a week, but I already learned some personalities! 3 blue jays 2 are massive ones and 1 is a one that looks like 20 in bird years that plays aggressive with the cardinals Gray bird makes everyone fly away Cardinal comes for 0.00000000001 nanoseconds Squirrel gets angry because it’s squirrel proof Chickadees have many friends Woodpecker comes often
I raised one from a tiny chick. She was a real sweet girl. But no, she didn't play well with others. And the point on the beak is very sharp They also have pretty rough courtships.
I sure do miss all the mourning doves here in the inner city that were here for decades. They've been "replaced" by the invasive ring necked dove. Not as beautiful sounding as a mourning dove, but I'm still grateful to have wildlife 🙏
That Dove didn’t move from that spot for nothing… damn. I never knew such a cast aloof characters would show up in two natural minutes. It’s a rough world little dude.
Two cute little dovies who visit my terrace for morning meal almost every day have a smiliar behavior toward other birdies 😄😄😍😍❤❤🕊🕊 Awww my little sweet pretty lovley baby cutoo 😘😘
ive never looked at a dove this long. these are taken for granted because they are EVERYWHERE here. but ive never actually looked at one.. now im kind of excited for tomorrow morning.
The fact that the Mourning Dove didn't care about what I'm assuming was a crow of some kind, as it knew better than to fight it otherwise it'd get it's friends. Though it does get defensive when it comes around a second time only to then kick it a third time. Also the jay screaming at it seems like it made it back down.
i love them, look up lesley the bird nerd, if you want to try handfeeding shes a great place to learn from, just slowly get them used to you, get closer to the feeder every other day, and eventually replace the feeder with your hand (add some extra cover and hiding spots so they can feel safe still), i managed to pet a few of my backyard birds, and the chickadee would let us move her chicks when they got into trouble once, she didnt chickadee or anything as we moved them fairly close to her, also this doesnt make them friendly to humans, just to individuals, they would still flee instantly when anybody visiting went into the backyard no matter how calm or slow.... though fyi mourning doves can be very cautious, they are one of the few birds i never handfed before moving, though i almost touched one once. also a good trick is to learn the favorite food of the birds your trying to feed (substitute worms for mealworms), doves love millet for example.
@@megan8932 That's super valuable info! Thank you so much for sharing! I love the fact that they only get used to individuals. I was gonna say "No, let them not get used to humans for their own safety" but you proved a point here. Best regards!
buy one wing-bap, get one free! I also how he let the black bird chill at the end because it chased off the bluejay. the black bird was like "can you believe that guy? mm these are some tasty seeds" and he was like "i guess you're ok"
i love that the bluejay just screamed in the doves face
The way the dove looked at the camera like, “did you just hear what he called me?”
I saw this comment just as the bluejay was jaying
Beep beep
Ironic
Woooooooooo

The amount of rage that dove was holding back when the red-winged black bird showed up lmao

I read that to the Depeche Mode tune
My man was knocked off the stump😂
It's interesting from a human perspective seeing which birds the dove is willing to tolerate or chooses not to confront
In this case, the red-winged blackbird was the only one it tolerated.
I think its just afraid to mess with any corvid.
@@emiriye the red winged blackbird (one at the end) is not a corvid
@@Interestingenough4 it makes sense--theyre really mean, I wouldnt want to mess with one either!
@@endeavor1664 They're still pretty aggressive at times, though. I've been mobbed by males during the nesting season.
The blue jay basically went like "YEAH, i took those seeds, what are you gonna do about it?!" 😂
Dove didn't seem to care. Bluejay was all talk and eventually left.
oh, i love it that she liked only the red ringed black bird!
Probably because it told the blue Jay to f*** off
@@agentblackbird9435don’t forget it was chill with the carrion for a bit
Yes, he chased the jay away
*Tricolored.
@@KentonMakings
?
the fact that you see the blue jay flying in the back several times makes his appearance even funnier lol
The blue jay: “did I jump scare you,yeah I bet I did, you coward”
Why did I read that in Mordecai's voice?
“WOOOO YEAHHHH BABYYYY! THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR, THAT’S WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT, WOOOOOOOO!” - The blue jay when it saw seeds, probably.
Bluejay: KAAKAAA
*the dove was too stunned to coo*
Humans: use doves as a universal symbol of love and peace
Doves:
SMACK
There's something great about a bird that we consider the symbol of peace taking no prisoners when it comes to its food.
I was thinking along those lines haha.
Omg as a European this feels so weird seeing all those alien species of birds which ig you’re well versed in
Birds seen here are:
- Mourning Dove
- Common Grackle (the one that looks like a crow's idiot cousin and keeps coming back to scare the dove)
- Sparrow? (Similar colouring but I'm not sure since it gets whapped and flees so quickly)

In my experience they’re usually very timid. I thought grackles were the more common bullies
Someone I knew had one for a pet. He would slap you with his wing!
0:37 i felt that
You can hear the other bird go "ack" when it gets slapped
the little smack noise 😭😭😭😭😭😭 heheheheheee, poor bird just wanted some nuts man

Because them being a symbol of peace is an idiocy formed by ignorant humans based on what they look like to us.
The paradox of peace is that it can be achieved in extremely unpeaceful ways.
Peace is something we as humans made up peace is an illusion in the real world its survival of the fittest.
That's a good point, the embodiment of Peace, with a "Peace was never an option" personality kinda makes you think..
Psy - op
Pigeon wing slap should be a meme

A Grackle steals your food.
Mourning Dove: Discombobulate...
Blue Jay: Try that on me, I dare you!!!
I love it when morning doves walk around on our front deck, the way they waddle is so funny
1:57 is pure gold, the smack sound, the finch(?)s small squawk it makes as it gets swatted 😂
The dove didnt say shit to the black and red bird at the end. After he slapped off the bluejay she was like "ooh I like your energy"
Maybe the dove don’t want to get jumped

3 blue jays 2 are massive ones and 1 is a one that looks like 20 in bird years that plays aggressive with the cardinals
Gray bird makes everyone fly away
Cardinal comes for 0.00000000001 nanoseconds
Squirrel gets angry because it’s squirrel proof
Chickadees have many friends
Woodpecker comes often
This is amazing. I had no idea mourning doves slap everyone else upside the head (except red winged blackbirds??)
Love the idea that the dove only tolerated the blackbird because it scared the blue jay away 🤣
This should be animated, like a Pixar Short film
1:37 3-hit combo in about half a second, impressive 🕊️
we need to put a photo realistic version of this dove in a fighting game asap
Aw, they seemed to like the redwing blackbird. Giving a bit of an eye. Cute 🥰
He’s pretty macho to fight off that caliber of corvids.
Lmao the sparrow got too close and was slapped out of existence
Lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eye. Doesn’t seem to be livin, until he flies up and bites ya
Dove at 2:08 is giving that look as if saying, "Come on! I was here first. Lemme eat in peace!"
Lol. The red-winged blackbird took out the Jay before he went to get food. Smart.
mourning dove beats grackle, bluejay beats mourning dove, red-winged blackbird beats bluejay.
Funny enough the mourning doves by my house just forage on the ground and rarely go up to the feeders, plus they’re usually a couple too
and flee from the squirel.
@@megan8932 yeah, forgot about the squirrel, maybe the occasional chipmunk too. I really do love seeing the doves when they’re around though
I raised one from a tiny chick. She was a real sweet girl. But no, she didn't play well with others. And the point on the beak is very sharp
They also have pretty rough courtships.
1:36 Mourning dove: I bring nostalgia to all, but for you, it's PTSD

It’s so odd to see just the one dove. At my place it’s 2-50 that come in at once. Great variety for one stump. Love it! 💚
Of course it's the high strung Blue Jay that's gotta holler the loudest, lol
That Dove didn’t move from that spot for nothing… damn. I never knew such a cast aloof characters would show up in two natural minutes. It’s a rough world little dude.
my local mourning dove sits in the middle of the plate of seeds i leave out like a loaf of bread so the other birds wont try to eat with it
so many different birds in one video! i had no idea a dove could be such a fighter 😂😂

Blue Jay said SHARE SUM STOP BEING GREEDY😂😂😂😂😂😂
SO the red winged blackbird gets a pass, but everybody else gotta catch those hands? xD
the red winged black bird is his homie
"OI MATE! OI MATE!" - Bluejay
That dove is like: “Don’t touch my food.” And the black bird is like: “What are you gonna do about it?”
That dove had enough of this insolence! Those birbs will pay..
He stood his ground-till he was done. In the meanwhile, he was letting them eat. The ones he was annoyed with; treated them, quickly and tersely. 😇

2:00 bro just gave up after that
The guy at 2:05 is hilarious. He's like, don't mind me NOM NOM NOM and his face is filled with food.
2:08 The dove is like "were cool, just stay on your side, and i'll stay on mine" 😂
"You get no olive branch, muth-fu**a, peanuts is MINE!...you cool though, red wing."
0:53 I like how the dove is just standing there and the black bird (don't know which type it is) hesitates to take a seed and gets scared
That's a grackle! I'm always amused by how many birds, big and small, are nervous around doves.
Man this is so beautiful, the birds and look at that very green environment.
Сколько разных красивых птиц в одном месте!))
Surprising how much that dove tolerated, especially with them usually being more timid birds.
This feels like a Pixar short lol so much emotion in simple birds just eating seeds
King of the peanuts!
I love how he just stands there and others come and go
those are such mean babies
Oh we had a morning dove with attitude once..chase every bird from feeder
My first memory of birds was the sound of a mourning dove which I thought was a dog down the road for the longest time
Love how the first few times the grackle showed up he just raised his wings in preparation like “I wonder if I could take ‘em..”
