Yes! And nobody messes with hummingbirds, either...when they get aggressive, other birds clear out!
My dad told me when he was the XO of a destroyer back in the early Sixties going through the Suez Canal, they had a hawk perched on the top of the mast, plucking some other bird, and all the crew was looking up at it as the downy feathers came floating down!
I could go on all day on the events I have seen with birds. Recently a bald eagle in a field eating a rabbit. Another time a flock of turkeys chasing a dog. My wife was working in her flower bed one day and she had a blouse with a pattern of red roses. A humming bird flew right up to her, maybe only 6 inches away, and flew all around her until it decided the roses weren’t real. One day last year I was looking at all of the dandelions in my lawn. They started to move! Then one of the flew! A flock of goldfinches had come to eat the seeds, but at first sight it just looked like a lot of dandelions. Many more stories including the rescue of a kestrel with a broken wing we took to a rehab facility. When the wing was healed, they called us and said your bird is getting fat, and ready to be released. You can come and watch if you like. I said that would be great but could I return it to where I found it? They hemmed and hawed a bit but said yes, it would be the best for the little hawk. What a gorgeous bird it was. When we released it in the field across from where we live, it circled around us, dipped it’s wing as if to say thanks, and flew up to the tallest tree in the woods to survey it’s old hunting grounds. What a beautiful sight and it really made me feel human.
