You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Mockingbird.

I have seen them chase birds of prey, which were many times larger, away from their territory. I've seen them attack cats, too. Hell, I've been attacked, harassed and told off by mockingbirds, before.

Everyone hears them "singing sweetly,"  imitating other birds calls, but interestingly, the mockingbird's "own"  sound is a hissing growl that sounds more like a reptile than a songbird.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Crow.   Ever see them trying to eat road kill in traffic with cars racing by less than a foot away at 50mph

Swans they will attack if you have no food to give them around here

because crows are wily and clever, and bluejays are badass bullies.  they both make me laugh.

dawg is right about the mockingbird - it's definitely my first runner-up.  tough birds.

  Either the bravest or the stupidest ... the wild turkey who crossed a busy road in my city last night.
  I watched in horror from the bus stop  :twitch:  thinking she'd be hit, but she got safely across. 
  She looks like these two ladies:

Crow...for that reason. I've seen them try to get the last bite in front of a Mack truck.

Hawks are pretty awesome too.  :thumbup:

Bravest or most foolish I have seen lately is the Bluejay that goes after my cat Chicken Wing which has taken to eating birds in the back yard

  Hawks are so powerful!  I watched one take off from a telephone pole once, and I swear I saw muscles flexing!  :orly:

We named it Chicken Wing because when he was a kitten he held one front leg bent like a chicken wing whenever you picked him up.  He was the runt of the litter and his mother died before he should have been weened we bottle fed him three weeks at first we did not think he was going to make it
