This morning, stopped at traffic lights where the Parkway goes under Cotter Road I saw a Hobby flying at Cockatoos and putting them in a panic. 

Falcons seem to like teasing birds they have no intention of catching, many years ago in Britain and saw a male Merlin chasing a Blackbird all over a reed-bed, but a male Merlin is only slightly larger than a Blackbird and even if it did kill one it wouldn't be able to lift it.
