Why do blackbirds fly against each others? - Qomplainerz - 03-06-2021
Recently I have encountered some noisy male blackbirds.
They seemed to be nervous so I looked if there's maybe a cat or a human nearby, but that wasn't the case.
Then I saw them starting to fly and during the flight two of them hit each others bellies.
I think they do that for two reasons:
1. Showing each others the borders of their territories
2. Impressing females to find a partner for mating
