Goldfinch Squabble, UK (1 Viewer)

Not sure if this is the correct section to post this. Made a short video of goldfinches in slow motion squabbling around a bird feeder. Interesting to see their flight and squabbling behaviour slowed down 6x.
Also watch out for the goldfinch with outlandishly long, deformed nails which appears @03:12. Looking on Google, it appears to be a case of Avian Keratin Disorder, where the 'production of keratin in the beak and nails is greatly accelerated'. Doesn't seem to have affected it otherwise and it looks quite healthy and able to function normally. I'd never heard of it before. Anyone come across this before?

nice video! I like the soundtrack. Good to see the UK version of goldfinch. I love watching the social interactions and behaviors of birds, more than logging different species. Last summer I actually saw an American robin wrestling with a chipmunk. I guess you could call it that. They seemed to be enjoying themselves and the robin didn't try to fly away.
