Having flown(my hanglider) around and with hawks and eagles,I know that they hunt(forage for meat)as a sniper or assasin technique-wise and don't as a rule engage in combat as part of that protocol,reluctant to waste energy outside of the immidiate task(food,not combat).However,should you approach a nest or threaten a mate,you will quickly find that they are not wimps and attack the same as your smaller birds but with greater lethality,having better weapons,not deterred by the invader's size(avg glider 10 times larger).Birds fight in defense of territory,nests,pre-emptive,seeking to attack the threat or attack the attack,thrusting wedge,calming the storm,sword of destruction kick first.
