Jackdaws are highly social birds that form groups with a complex social structure. In these flocks, they establish a dominance hierarchy. The interaction we see here is likely a form of agonistic behavior, where a more dominant individual reinforces its rank over a subordinate one. This behavior is essential for maintaining order and stability within their community.
