Cockatoo v Gang-gang

["John Leonard" <>]

Yesterday in our backyard the usual Cockies were strung out along the
telephone lines along the back fence when two Gang-gangs dropped in
and perched on the lines. One Cockatoo tried to evict the nearest
Gang-gang by hovering over him and pecking and squawking at him.
However the Gang-gang ducked low, defending himself vigorously. For 30
seconds or so there was an almighty din, squawks versus angry
creaking. In the end the Cockatoo flew off shrieking with anger and
all his friends joined him in flight. The Gang-gangs were left
creaking in satisfaction on the lines.

It's very difficult when you see things like this not to believe that
birds experience similar emotions to ourselves.
