    Mordecai VS Woody Woodpecker: The fight of the century

    • @Matt-the-Youtube-user
      @Matt-the-Youtube-user Před měsícem +1

      Yeah. I suppose, Mordecai offended Woody, by marking Woody's signature laugh, as annoying. I can already see a dialogue between those two, like this:
      Mordecai: Well, well, well, look who's here! Woodpecker with the World's most annoying laugh ever.
      Woody: What?! What did you say about my laugh, you weird colored bird?!
      Mordecai: You heard me very well, you head banging birdie. Your laugh is very annoying!
      Woody: Yeah. Says the blue bird, who gets frequently yelled at by a gumball machine.
      Mordecai: Hey, It's not my fault, he's sometimes a big dork! Also haven't you been threatened to be k¤lled by many people?
      Woody: Don't remind me of that! Also, about k¤lling. I'm surprised, your raccoon friend didn't shred you already. Raccoons can be vicious.
      Mordecai: *loses his temper* WHAT?! HOW DARE YOU CALL RIGBY VIOLENT?! GET OVER HERE YOU INTO-WOOD-HEAD-SMACKING BIRD, I'LL PECK YOUR EYES OUT!!!
      Woody: I'LL PECK YOURS OUT TOO, YOU BLUE COLRED BIRD SLACKER!!!
      Mordecai and Woody: *have a very intense brawl*
      Now it's up to you to write, how would Benson (gumball machine) react, when he spots Mordecai and Woody fighting each other.

    Red Bellied Woodpeckers can be VERY VERY nasty once they claim a feeding spot. They will NOT tolerate Blue Jays thinking they can bully there way in. They both have extremely sharp beaks but i think the edge goes to the woodpecker there. Plus, the woodpecker obviously has the advantage having "zygodactyl feet". Which is having two toes facing in the front and two in the back. Where as "perching birds" have 3 toes in the front and 1 in the back.These feet, along with thick talons and stiff tail feathers, are what helps woodpeckers to brace, grip, and climb tree trunks in a vertical position. I have 30yrs experience in the avian field and have worked "hands on" with everything from Warblers to Birds of Prey. And Budgies to Macaws. So i've seen my fair share of encounters between various bird species while out in the field.

      I loved reading your comment! But since you're a well-educated person please don't forget to use there, their, and they're properly 😉... There are other grammatical & spelling errors too (fragments, "whereas", etc), but those could simply be attributed to typing the way you speak without proofreading. I'm not trying to nitpick or make you angry; you just sound a lot more educated to your audience when you use proper grammar and have no spelling errors. Cheers!

    As a kid my mom told me a story about feeding birds.
    She threw out a bunch of stale bread in the side yard and was watched as dozens of robins were chased off by a few black birds. Then she watched as those black birds got chased off by a single blue jay.
    It's fun to see that something can push back against jays.

    The way you stop that is to just add more peanuts in the shell, the jays will quickly go for that and take off. I have seen that with my own feedings, and this vid ends that way. It's kinda funny how they will pick up one peanut, put it down and repeat as if they are haggling for the best deal. I feed them un-salted but roasted, I don't think they care if they are raw or roasted but definitely do not give them salted.

    They could've just shared the food, stupid birds, they wasted a bunch of it while fighting over it...

    Very neato; I would wager these guys are just playing. Looks like the jay is actually trying to help woodpecker get jump start on flight by pulling him above him. 👌

    Jays get a bad rap, all of our birds (including these two) get along just fine. The only "bird fight" we saw here was a black bird starting a fight with a jay, my jay kicked the snot out of it.
