Seven consecutive images of an acrimonious nesting exchange. Note, this whole exchange took only a few seconds.

Top image:"You're late again!! Where have you been this time?"


"Didn't I tell you to be back on time to take your turn to sit on the eggs?" "You should have been back over an hour ago!!"


"And don't tell me your watch stopped again!!"


"Next exchange you better be on time!!Or else....!!"


"Now, get out of the way!!"


"Wow, good thing I kept my mouth shut, or she might have impaled me with her sharp beak."


"I hope none of the kids have hatchet yet. I need some peace and quiet."
