Yesterday I noticed a flock of mynahs were quarreling. The sound they created got my attention and on watching I find out they are on a serious fight. I was wondering the reason for their quarrel. They were on road side and on ground. On walking far away from them I could hear the loud noise of them. What may be the reason for their provocation to each other?

It seems they are like human beings and they do have jealous and possessiveness.

@Sreekala Every living being has their own interests which they don't want to be hurt.Each living being no matter what species they fall in have their own interests and feelings.

Some birds they fight to save their nests and some also fight for the territory which is common in most of the animals to ensure food for them !

I watched and observed nearby place and nothing could be find. May be they moved and came to road so I could not find nest or food where the place they fought.

These birds are known for their squabbles and their ability to imitate other birds.

Interesting question. It could be for a number of reasons. Birds are like people are the quarrel about they same types of things people do.

I was not aware about that. So they do similarly like human beings.

I was not aware about that. I had an impression that they are very innocent. So they do similarly like human beings.

small brown birds visit us several times a day. we call them maya. sometimes they fight over the rice from the dog's bowl. but sometimes i've seen two rolling on the ground, fighting, but just for a few seconds then they fly away.

May be they have their own reasons to get into a fight. Here I seen 6-7 birds were busy on attacking each other.

Must be mating season or male birds fighting for the female? I don't know but as long they are doing it in the sky and not in our house

Sometimes they quarrel when they are looking for their mates; they could be both males competing for a female one.
