—” the Crows and the Bluejays would probably wage battle against the Parrots”

A friend that had hunted crows could expound on how smart they are.
He claimed you could walk in the woods unarmed and pass through the thick of them but not with a shotgun.

Methinks the crows would muscle them out.

We used to go crow hunting in Missouri farm fields. Never shot one. We’d be driving down a country road and start slowing down. The crows took off as soon as the car stopped or somebody got out.

Ornithilogists (bird scientists) have found that parrots and crows both have tool using ability and are highly social — key markers of intelligence. I think that in battles between monk parrots and crows that parrots would have the advantage due to their sturier build and hooked beaks, dense communal nests, and gang like behavior when feeding or fighting adversaries. More likely though is that being smart and with different feeding and nesting habits, crows and parrots would avoid conflict.
