I have seen Blue Jays pecking a cat to get it to move...a cat, the number one killer of song birds in the world.

I've got a pair of red shouldered hawks and group of crows living near my house. The fights are frequent and cool to watch.

I once saw a couple of crows escorting a hawk like a couple of cold war fighters tailing a Soviet bomber.

This isn't really related... But I once saw a "documentary" about birds who put holes in giraffes, build a nest, and hatch their young in a bloody, gaping shoulder wound, and the giraffes don't care (or cannot reach the wound) and just let it happen.

Damn Nature, you scary...
