集団暴力事件 The Group Viorent Happening

平和な日曜日の朝、突如勃発した暴力事件

といっても人間ではありません

我が家の庭で繰り広げられた鳥同士の集団抗争です

きっかけは何かよくわかりませんが、我が家から追い出されたムクドリが他の鳥の縄張りを侵して巣を作ろうとしたのではないかと思われます

双方の兵力は約10羽対10羽で、これが一斉にギャーギャーと声を立てながら空中戦を展開していました

時々空中で絡んだまま地上に落下するケースもありますが、空中戦は動きが早くてとても望遠レンズで追い切れません

その後地上戦に移行して、2対2の戦いに入り、そこに時々5羽目が参戦すると一気に形勢が逆転します

うちの犬たちは遠巻きに眺めていましたが、彼らが飛び去ったあとに散乱する羽を食べていました

結局どちらかが勝ったということではなく、何となく停戦に向かったようですが、しばらくは威嚇しあうような声が聞こえていました

彼らの抗争を目にするのは今回で3回目ですが、鳥たちも生きていくためにこのような戦いをしなければならないようです

 

 

On the peaceful Sunday morning the group violent matter had happened suddenly.

It was not between the human groups.

It was between the birds groups that happened in my garden.

The reason of start was not clear but probably the group that had been driven out from my premises was going to make the nests at the other’s territory.

Both groups were about 10:10 and they screamed and dogfought.

Sometimes they entangled and fell down to the ground but the air-dogfight was so quick and I couldn’t follow with the long lens.

After then they moved to the land fight of 2:2 but sometimes when the other one joined to one group the situation changed drastically.

Tiger and Root had watched them from the far place and when the birds flew away they eat the feathers of scattered around.

Finally not the one group won but went to finish the battle.

But the threating voices of each other were heard after a while.

It was the third time I watched their battle and sometimes they had to do such kind of battle to alive.
