This agonistic (fighting) behavior of the Small Parrot starts with a standoff. That is when the two birds face each other intently.
Next the Small Parrot puffs up its wings; this is termed posturing.
Next the Small Parrot feints forward; this is termed a bluff charge.
I note that agonistic displays (also termed threat displays) are not specific to birds. Dogs, for instance, exhibit agonistic displays towards bears and mountain lions …
I feel it likely that agonistic behaviors are instinctive rituals that prevent predator attacks without loss of life. We humans can imitate these ritual or instinctive behaviors when facing large predators. It is possible the ingrained reactions of the large predators may be to stop charging or to run away. That would give us time to make a getaway.

In this video I describe the esoteric lore about Dragonflies and Damselflies. I present my new names for the Overlighting Devas of Dragonflies and Damselflies, and names for Human Hybrids of Dragonflies and Damselflies. Then I relate a story of a clair gift to me by the Deva of a Dragonfly. I call this clair gift ‘Telescopic Remote Viewing’.
There is an edited Summary after the video …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
OVERVIEW
Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.
I have a thought for you about a different sort of hybrid that we might see sometimes.
There are Insectians and Insectoids. The first … the Insectians … are the overlighting Spirit of the insect world. The second … the Insectoids … are hybrid beings that might be part human and part the insect.
There are all different kinds of insects … SO many! It is my feeling … and also true in my readings on Esoteric lore … that there must be overlighting Spirits for every single kind of insect … and the same for the higher animals … for all the animals on Earth.
One insect I thought I would mention, because it is featured in the esoteric lore, and in the folklore of the peoples of Earth, is the Dragonfly.
One of the things that I have noticed about dragonflies is that they are thought to be much favored by nature spirits such as Elves and Faeries, who are said to like to take rides on their backs. Elves and Faeries are said to be as fond of Dragonflies in the same way that they are of the Bears.
When you think about Dragonflies, imagine how great they are as hunters, how voracious they are as predators, and in a way, how quintessentially they represent the spirit of the natural world here on Earth … which is, in some lights savage and unforgiving, and on the other hand capable of offering us ecstatic bliss in this moment of the Now because of its natural beauty.
There is nothing quite as beautiful as a Dragonfly; is that not so? The sight of a Dragonfly is said to herald entry into a portion of the forest, for instance, or a portion of a meadow especially favored by nature spirits.
So I am always on the lookout for Dragonflies. I have seen no Dragonflies around the Santa Monica Mountains lately. But I so see lots of Damselflies, which seem somehow to me to be related to Dragonflies, although their wings fold differently.
Damselflies also are very beautiful, and they are very voracious. In a way they are very similar. People sometimes mistake them for Dragonflies. But when Damselflies are at rest, their wings are folded together along their backs … their thorax and their abdomen. And when Dragonflies are at rest their wings don’t really fold; they are held out horizontally … two on each side.
That is how you can tell the difference between Damselflies and Dragonflies. To be certain, you must wait for the insect in question to alight on some object.
I was trying to think of good names for the Overlord of the Dragonflies and for the Overlord of the Damselflies, as there are lots of those out here … and for the Hybrids that are human and which ‘take after’ those beings.
I am going to look up the Latin and let you know about that.
……………….. Sidebar: Names for Damselfly and Dragonfly Overlighting Devas and Human Hybrids
Here are my newly invented words …
Dragonfly … suborder Anisoptera
Deva: ANISOPTERAN
Human Hybrid: ANISOPTEROID
Damselfly … suborder Zygoptera
Deva: ZYGOPTERAN
Human Hybrid: ZYGOPTEROID
In addition I thought I would mention that I have had an experience of telepathic rapport with a Dragonfly … not the Dragonfly, really, but the Overlord of the Dragonflies … the Anisopteran.
I experienced that the Anisopteran has a clair ability to see far away. You might call this ability Telescopic Remote Viewing.
What happened to me was this: It was as if I were on the back of a Dragonfly, as the Nature Spirits are said to do. It was as if I were flying at breakneck speed along a path through the wilderness that I intended to take.
I was trying to find out where the hiking path led, which turns to take, and so forth. It seemed as if I were on the back of the Dragonfly and as if it flew me there … even though it had been as much as five years since I had been that way.
The Anisopteran seemed to know every inch of the way there. It was an incredible experience … as if I, in your modern terms, were on a drone and the drone was taking me there … except that my experience felt natural rather than mechanical.
So that is another reason to think highly of Dragonflies: They can help you find the way to distant locations should you be lost.
That is all for now, Dear Ones.
God bless you all,
And keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days.
In love, light and joy

INTRODUCTION
Dear Ones,
This is a video about the factors at play in alliances chosen by Ravens, which I feel to be very intelligent birds. Theirs I feel to be a highly adapted kind of intelligence.
Sometimes Ravens make alliances with humans, as is the case in Placerita Canyon Natural Area, Newhall, California. Sometimes Ravens make alliances with Coyotes and Mountain Lions, as is the case on Sandstone Peak Trail near Circle X Ranch Ranger Station in the Santa Monica Mountains, California.
Who helps the Ravens in a particular locale? Is it humans who help them get food, or do they depend for their food on animal predators that are high in the food chain? In the answer to these questions lies our ability to claim the Ravens as allies in that locale … or else our inability to do so.
What beings do human beings depend upon when they live in natural areas where there are only scattered groups of people? Might these isolated human beings be expected to relate to animals, whether predator or prey, in their area?
Might these people dream of skinchanging with large and fearsome animals such as bears, as at this link? … Video: “Wardruna – Birna (Official Music Video),” by wardruna, 6 December 2024 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLqNSAZEFjU ..
Might they take an animal as a totem, rather than a famous person?
The answer I feel to be yes. Those with whom the Ravens align in purpose, and those with whom Humans align in purpose depend upon the survival resources available in their immediate locale.

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
“Alliances AMONG Animals, and Human Alliances WITH Animals – 1 December 2024”
By Alice B. Clagett
You know, as to the types of alliances that Ravens form, I think in an area where there are more humans than other types of animals that they align with humans, and that in areas where there are very few humans they align with the top predators there.
You know, it only makes sense for their own survival.
I think humans find their alliances differently depending on whether they live in an area where there are very few people. [If so,] then they’re more likely to form alliances with the wild animals that can be helpful to them, don’t you think?
The Ravens in this place … at Walker Ranch … they’re aligned with humans. They’re friendly with humans I think.
The campers bring food for all the animals, and so we have an alignment. And so they help us to stay clear of the Mountain Lions.
But over near Tri-Peaks … on that tall trail [Sandstone Peak Trail] that goes up near the Ranger Station … it’s the opposite. The Ravens are aligned with the Mountain Lions and the Bobcats because there’s a deadfall place there [‘Deadfall’ is not quite the right word. It’s a landslide area at a curve in the trail that goes round a big boulder] where they can … especially In the heat of summer, when game is scarce … they can help the Predators to catch people.
And so the rolls are reversed there.
You have to be careful where you are [to know] who the Ravens align with, you know. They’re very intelligent, and they form alliances based on the community where they find themselves.
God bless you all,
And keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days.
In love, light and joy
