Two Carolina Wrens fighting

Saw these two Carolina Wrens duking it out in late February

I hope they both flew away; this is sad….

[@jonigranados3377]

I bet they wanna fight for a mate

Why do they attack each other on the ground?

[@2009raindrop]

I can only speculate that it was a territorial dispute. I have never before (and have never since!) seen two birds go at it quite like this.

@@2009raindrop Maybe these birds will attack on the ground to relieve fatigue
