I tell people to make no mistake, this is not rough playing. It is survival. When the food comes the dominant one gets to it first.

If they are closely matched both can eat.

The other consideration is when a disagreement gets rough, like this one, a juvenile can be pushed off the nest.

With luck they have learned enough to fly a short distance to safety.

This ended with no damage to either. As sudden as it started, that’s how quickly it ended. But it was loud for the moment.
