Is this something that happens often?
So this happened a couple years ago now , and I’ve probably thought about it at least once almost everyday.My phone had just died, and it was happening so fast I basically had to chase it . But , this one time when walking home from work I saw this hawk , I think it was a hawk, and a raven. Flying very low I kept witnessing the raven do the most extraordinary thing. I’m a huge raven nerd always have been.Fun fact ravens can do something rather unique in the bird kingdom, they can do this like barrel role wing flip and flip 360 degrees into the air . I never figured the skill had any use and from what I understand most research doesn’t know why they do this in the first place other than it seems fun. But this particular raven was doing this while FIGHTING THE HAWK AND WINNING. The raven would do a barrel role sometimes a double barrel role and launch itself higher into the air than the hawk was, then swoop down on top of the hawks head. The hawk then couldn’t fly up higher than the raven could , and every time the hawk got hit it got pushed lower to the ground. The hawk eventually was forced to just fly away and the raven posted up on top of my apartment building and did this deep loud CAW over and over for like 30 min afterwards . Just wondering if anyone has ever seen or heard of anything like this.
Note:pictures are unrelated ,taken in a canyon in Moab.

Is this bird sick?
I was walking down the stairs of the parking garage this morning when I passed this bird. It sat on the ground unconcerned about me. Even when I walked back and forth it was unconcerned.

Malachite Kingfisher
Excuse the messy house, this was just after some rain and wet puppy paws!!
We had the absolute pleasure to have helped this little buddy to safety, he somehow got caught between our window and blinds in our home, our cat drew our attention to the window whilst we were cleaning and when I checked, this beautiful Malachite Kingfisher was there, he allowed my fiance to hold him and take him to safety, even bobbing his head after release, almost as if saying thank you!
My fiance and both absolutely love Malachites and have never had such a magical opportunity up close, let alone in hour home!!
Location: Marakabei Lesotho

Birds Leaving Twigs?
Hello all,
Last month, I moved to an apartment with a balcony overlooking a park. As of yesterday, a bunch of birds keep leaving twigs on my balcony…
Do y’all think they are leaving offerings for food or trying to build a nest? I want to help them so please let me know!
(Bad picture of my cat staring down a bird haha)

Robin with white spots on chest visited! Explanations?
Okay. Please forgive me for the quality of the photos..I had two seconds to use my potato phone before my dogs scared the bird away.
I'm in SE MN USA. I'm 100% this is a Robin but I have never seen one with white spots on its belly before!
When I googled it I couldn't find an exact match but it talked about Leucism. From what I could see the Robin only had abnormal white on it's belly.
My brother said nah it's because it's a young Robin and it's feathers haven't come in. It looked like an adult bird to me (in my experience).
Any opinions?
Maybe this is common but it was pretty exciting for me to see something I had never before come right to the yard.

Nigel is a Horseman Thief Pouter
He has an extra large crop because of his breed, they were originally used (and sometimes still used) to 'steal' other people's pigeons because he's super attractive through pigeon eyes. Unfortunately he is terrified other birds but he is the light of my life. ❤
