Nest Stealing Starlings Cause A Flap
These vicious European starlings caused a real flap when they bombard a pair of northern flickers in a bid to steal their nest.
The daring thieves launched themselves at the tree and battled for several minutes until they won the war - forcing the owners to flee.
One starling even pecked at the male flicker's head before grasping its beak with a claw.
