Brother against brother

This was a day of unrest in the backyard.  Sadly, the two Muscovy brothers Big Boy and Lazlo got into the biggest fight I have ever seen in the backyard, and of course it had to do with a girl.  Here's what happened...

Big Boy was hanging with his cute girlfriend Cutie Tips and having a little breakfast.  All was nice and peaceful.

The peace didn't last because Lazlo came running over and decided he wanted Cutie Tips for his own.  Isn't there some kind of guy code about this sort of thing, especially among brothers?  Anyway a big fight ensued which started on the grass with a staredown and a lot of posturing.

The fight soon started in earnest and ended up in the canal.  Both are young and strong and fairly evenly matched though Lazlo is smaller, and they fought hard.  At one point I thought it was over but Lazlo was resting under Big Boy's wing which was a funny sight.  Finally, Lazlo tried to retreat but Big Boy kept chasing after him.  The whole episode lasted at least 10 minutes.

This isn't over, I'm just taking a breather under here

After the big fight, both brothers came into the backyard.  Lazlo looked defeated and Big Boy started grooming and showing off and was back hanging with his girl.  I hope they can still remember that they are brothers and try to get along.
Lazlo the Loser
The winner gets the girl who thinks "yeah, that's my man!"
