The other day, I witnessed an incident. A little bird was picking up grains that I had purposely scattered on my terrace. Suddenly, a larger bird landed with a puff of air, scattering the grains randomly. The little bird seemed resilient; it wasn’t bothered by the sudden intrusion and continued feeding. The larger bird might have perceived the little bird’s behavior as a challenge to its strength (my speculation) and attacked it. The little bird immediately darted to the side and flew to an internet cable hanging just above. The larger bird then ate all the visible grains and flew away. Meanwhile, the little bird also left the cable and disappeared into the sky.

After witnessing this, I’m still curious. If two humans had been in place of these birds, would the same thing have happened? Following this event, the question naturally came to my mind.
