I have seen a Red Wattlebird at ANBG fly about
40 metres to attack a group of choughs on the ground. Probably similar pointless
aggression. Bird aggression is often directed at things that are a danger or
things that are rare and obviously different from the usual. The latter doesn't
explain Ian's obs. RW and Magpies both being common.
