Backyard Bullies or- the Starlings are here

I never knew that Starlings were such bullies!  And NOT just to the other birds but also to one another.

It all starts out innocent enough.  One Starling flies up to the suet...

And checks out the situation...

Very. Carefully.

And things are great.  Until another Starling wants to join in for breakfast.

A rather heated discussion ensues...

 And, sometimes, someone bites someone else.

But they usually work it out.  At least until that one at the next feeder decides to make a move...

And tries to join the other two...

wherein, another discussion ensues...

 and there's always one who complains more than the others.

Every so often, a Red-Bellied Woodpecker comes in for a meal.   But the Starling does NOT like this at all!

The woodpecker, however, is NOT impressed and tells the Starling just where to get off.

And he does.

DUDES!  All I wanted was to eat in peace!
