Cape Olive Thrush (Turdus olivaceus ssp. olivaceus)

Observer

Date

Description

The observed bird was seen hopping towards a large dove, which had made itself look bigger with its wings spread and tail extended. The bird charged towards the dove and the dove jumped into the air to avoid it. The two birds continued this for several seconds before the dove flew away. There did not appear to be any kind of food items for the birds to be fighting over. Neither bird offered any kind of vocalisations to the other.

The observed bird was also seen chasing a robin-chat, but with significantly less aggression from either bird.
