1:36 That wing slap to the grackles head is great footage. I know that mourning doves outrank blue jays in my area, but I didn't think a mourning dove could displace a grackle.
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...
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?
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
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
woodpeckers are no joke lol, they know they don't need to hold back on their pecks. If other birds tried to peck that hard they'd give themselves concussions, but woodpeckers have tissues that shield their brain from shock so they can hit as hard as they like. I'd hang around a woodpecker too!
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 🙏
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 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!
Oh I LOVE those strange black birds with red/yellow spots on the wings, only discovered them 6 years ago when I moved to the more "Nature filled" edge of town since I used to live in the middle of it where there's less nature.
The doves that visit our window fight each other and smaller birds over the food, but never the crows. Doves probably aren't the sharpest tools in the shed but they seem to be smart enough to not mess with corvids 😂

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.
Mourning doves are great there were 4 that liked to hangout in my backyard and they constantly beat each other up, they took turns being the one beat up
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

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.

Never underestimate a strong male Mourning Dove during the nesting period! Their aggressiveness is both cute and funny.
Doves are crazy
I keep telling mine to slap the Squirrel instead, but they always chicken out.

There's something great about a bird that we consider the symbol of peace taking no prisoners when it comes to its food.
Birds are goofy and I love it.
“You’re not yourself when you’re hungry.”
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"

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..

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.

1:57 is pure gold, the smack sound, the finch(?)s small squawk it makes as it gets swatted 😂
"WHAT! yeah i thought so"-Bluejay
Surprising how much that dove tolerated, especially with them usually being more timid birds.
He’s pretty macho to fight off that caliber of corvids.
Aw, they seemed to like the redwing blackbird. Giving a bit of an eye. Cute 🥰
Lol. The red-winged blackbird took out the Jay before he went to get food. Smart.
Of course it's the high strung Blue Jay that's gotta holler the loudest, lol
Lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eye. Doesn’t seem to be livin, until he flies up and bites ya
I love how perpetually surprised grackles look. They're so cute
mourning dove beats grackle, bluejay beats mourning dove, red-winged blackbird beats bluejay.

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. 😇
