GHO not a fan of the Eagles

Found a pair of videos from an eagle nest cam. Their local GHO is not a fan of having their type in the neighborhood and expresses its concerns in the way owls do.

To be fair, the eagles likely return the favor during the daylight.

- The first video link where it does a reverse over the shoulder throw of the eagle is total Batman level night brawling mastery!
god the head tilt

- LOL it’s such a human-like way to take a hit. It’s like they’re screaming “WA-OOWW!” and throwing their arms back so dramatically.
That’s metal
- I bet there's a lot of history on why we really only find small animals cute and cuddly!
  Heck, Barred Owls will still try to do to us what this GHO is doing to the eagles!
  
  I'm not sure how long the actual history is, the most widely accepted theory was first proposed by Austrian ethologist Konrad Lorenz in the 1940s. He called it baby schema which basically state that we find certain features of human babys cute which in turn motivates us to take care of them.
  Certain aspects of infants like big eyes, can be found in most animals we traditionally deemed cute. For example domestic dogs have "poppy dog eyes" which is entirely absence from wild wolfs, meaning we likely unintentionally bred them to display them since we like it.
Fuck you Jeremy! Stay out of my tree!
- Sometimes they can't even tell if everyone is in their assigned trees!
Dang! Bum rushed!
- Absolutely! It's all very premeditated.
  They are pretty equally matched physically, so the risk of injury in a fair fight is too high. They'll wait until things are to their advantage to make their move.
