No, not me brawling with Canberra College Students, but an amazing
four way contest between

I party of choughs (5 adults and 1 juv)
a trio of Magpies
at least 8 Noisy Miners &
1 pair Red Rumped Parrots

The basic conflict was the three Magpies trying to evict the Choughs
from their territory, but as it went on the Noisy Miners arrived and
began attacking everybody, and then the RR Parrots began flapping up
and down on the edges of the fight.

The noise!
