We go again. Big win from the honourable pigeon in the last round. This time it's the pelican - a bird purpose built for high speed water entry for surface hunting - against the osprey - a bird found globally but threatened in the UK. Cast your vote with a reaction!

❤ = Osprey
😆 = Pelican

Another one of these. Congrats to the Blue Footed B***y on winning the last round - a very closely fought battle. This time it's the Andean condor against our finest wood pigeon. Will the condor's staggering flight altitude of up to 5.5km give it the edge? Or will the sheer number of wood pigeons (2.5 million breeding pairs in the UK) overwhelm the condor? Cast your vote now!

❤ = pigeon
😆 = condor
