Male Rivalry.

Male Rivalry. (Coccothraustes)

Still plenty of Hawfinches around more than there are feeders, disputes still occur from time to time but they do not last long and no one appears to get hurt. They do however tend to tolerate other finches to a point, but not their own, especially another male.
