War of the parrots

Posted by Aaron Schmidt (Auckland, New Zealand) on 15 August 2005 in Animal & Insect.

These birds were viscous fighters! The first bird (Bongo) was sleeping there peacefully when the second bird (Dr. Mystery) came along and attacked without provocation. Bongo was able to react quickly and get a claw into the face of the Doctor. She jumped up and charged to attack but fell victim to Dr. Mystery's patented move, "The Brain Plunger", which proved to be fatal to the young parrot. A sad tale indeed, but one that is necessary to prove who is fittest for survival.
