I’m pretty proud of this. It’s not done. Also, the crest isn’t right, but I still really like it.

Wow, that face is so cute! I love it so much! I can’t do faces that well. With a little practice, you could be a great artist. It’s a lot better than anything I drew a year ago.
 
“AGONISTIC BEHAVIOR
Physical interactions. Inter- and intraspecific
intruders chased, both in air and on ground, and may be attacked. Attacks between neighbors begin with jabbing at opponent with beak, grab- bing opponent by tail, wing, beak, rarely by neck. Birds gripping each other by beak engage in extended pulling bouts, which may last several minutes (Tinbergen 1960). If individual loses
balance during pulling contest, it is struck with wings or pecked. Attacks on intruders usually begin with charge (see below, Communicative interactions). Birds retreating from opponent often give Shrill Waver or Alarm Call (see Vocal array). Birds also pursue retreating opponents by flight, or on ground with wings upraised. Males engage in fights and pursuits much more often than females do (Tinbergen 196
iscussed.
UPRIGHT POSTURE. Approaches slowly in rigid posture with neck stretched upward and forward with head pointed slightly downward (Tinbergen 1960; see Fig. 6). In high-intensity forms, wings lifted so they stand out from body, increasing apparent size. Wings also positioned to strike blows. Given significantly more often by males than females. Directed at neighbors, intruding conspecifics. Often leads to Grass-pulling (see below) or Long Calling with neighbors. With intruder, if opponent does not retreat, displaying bird begins to approach more rapidly, raises wings more prominently, grading into charge.
CHARGE. Also called Attack or Supplant. Bird
approaches opponent rapidly, half-running,

half-flying, often giving Charge Call. Intruders almost invariably fly in response to Charge. Intruders that persist are often pursued through air. Intruders that do not fly away are attacked (see above). Males more likely to Charge, especially against male opponent. Females Charge primarily female and immature oppon- ents (Pierotti 1987a)
GRASS-PULLING.Duringterritorialdisputes,1or both opponents take vegetation in beak, brace feet wide apart, pull vigorously at vegetation (Tinbergen 1960). Usually performed while facing neighbor opponent < 1 m away.”

this reads like video game info, not a research paper

This is extremely helpful. XD

Thanks a lot, I wasn’t sure if it just looked good to me and was actually really off. I’ll post a picture of the colored/penned version soon.
