Fun and games or stand-off?

I watched this video, and wasn't sure whether these two were just kidding around (pun) or if it was a territorial dispute ... :dunno:

Have you ever known a rooster to “play”?

Diligently follow the path of two swords as one. Percieve that which the eye cannot see. Seek the truth in all things. Do not engage in useless activity.

The goat is playing, the rooster means business.

:iagree: Rooster doesn't know what the goat is doing, only that he wants it to stop. She's in danger of losing an eyeball.

Roosters only know fight, breed and eat. I have seen them play when I've let them out after a long winter for example but that is rare. They flap around in circles bouncing up and down, they don't attack something as "play" like that rooster is doing, he is serious.
