Siskin 'Pecking Order'


Our backyard birdfeeder is currently being swamped by a flock of Siskins which have to number at least 100 at any given time.

They put on quite a show with their aerial 'battles', for when it comes to sharing the food source, they clearly have a pecking order which is fiercely enforced.

Sometimes it seems the expend as much energy driving away a food rival, as they gain from the food they eat.

Typically, one day they will simply be gone, on their way to other food sources, but while they are hear they beat watching anything that is on the telly.
