BATTLING THE INVADER


CRESTED BARBET

A couple of  days ago i heard banging and scratching on one of the widows in my house.
Investigation the noise i found this Barbet at war with his image in the window.
He would sit on the garden wall and growl at the bird in the window, while winding himself up for the attack.



The Call to Arms

The Pep Talk

After much dancing up and down the wall a final warning was uttered !!!!

The Attack

The attack then commenced with much wing flapping, squawking and scratching as the interloper was given his marching orders. W hitch would you believe is just ignored how dare the bird.  

Looking For Support
Once exhausted the Barbet would hang on the window and look at me as if to say well why don't you help. 

Plotting the Next Step

Finally he would then strut up and down the window sill as if the point out that he was the boss.
this whole process repeated it self over and over again till i changed the angle of the window by opening it slightly. 
Have a great day and enjoy this beautiful bird.
