Great Spotted Woodpecker Arguments with Parakeets Dendrocopos major

Despite his young age, this juvenile Woodpecker is prepared to fight the Parakeet off the peanut feeder.

He is not put off by the parakeet being already on the feeder nor by being outnumbered.

His dagger-like bill usually prevails.

Now a young adult, he is still prepared to take on multiple parakeets to get sole right to the peanuts.

Another fully-fledged adult is more tolerant of parakeets on the seed feeder but will argue back if sworn at.
