Me attaching a brick of seed to the deck has caused a major disruption in local bird world. There’s now an aviary of birds out there fighting for it, revealing an intersectional maze of power relations.

There’s some sort of gang war going on between the smaller but more numerous yellow ones and the larger black ones.

The yellow dudes have won.

Update!

This big mofo showed up and took over.

Idly pondering releasing the cat who's been coiled like a spring all day, just to see real bedlam erupt.

Ok, released the cat, the birds scattered instantly and there isn't a single one to be seen, and now I've got a grumpy, snow-covered cat.

Evolution is a real pain in the ass.
