Spectators attempted to separate two birds engaging in an epic battle on a pavement in southern China.

Bizzare video filmed in the city of Luzhou in Sichuan Province on March 9 shows two birds relentlessly clawing at each other's beaks and legs.

Spectators attempted to separate them but they refused to let go.

According to the filmer named Xu, the birds were not captive, but wild birds engaging in a fight that had all the hallmarks of a grudge match.

The intensity of the conflict was such that it left many spectators in awe, as they watched in disbelief at the sheer tenacity and determination of these two small birds.

Finally, both birds had simply tired themselves out and decided to fly away from each other in separate ways.

3月9日，四川泸州。两只小鸟在路边打架，互相用爪子抓着对方的嘴和腿，纹丝不动，也不害怕旁边围观的群众，有人尝试去硬掰也分不开它们。视频拍摄者徐先生表示，鸟是活的，不是人为绑的，它们的招式一模一样，谁也不服谁。后来两只鸟应该打累了，也不赌气了就各自飞走了。视频由徐先生提供。
