Most bizarre thing I saw the other day;

Three Indian Mynahs in the gutter at the side of a Newcastle street.  One bird 
was on its back with its wings flat on the road.  The other two birds were 
pecking at it.  I thought the bird on the ground was dead until it leapt up, 
ran around a bit, but then was driven to the ground and onto its back again by 
the other two birds.  I've seen birds fighting before but nothing as vicious as 
that.

Has anyone else ever seen this sort of behaviour?
