I just watched as a Starling swooped down on top of another one feeding on the ground. The aggressor had the other on its back and was jabbing at it with its beak until it managed to get away and they both flew off. Never saw that happen before. But the Starlings are quite combative amongst this small group of seven who are feeder regulars.
