Well that's just odd, isn't the exact same equation used to determine the besieger and besiegee's relative strengths ? I'm not aware of the animal tag making a difference either way...

Ah, I see: Black Hawks have a siege penalty not visible in game, which would reduce their siege value on the attack but not the defence.

Which is weird as birds can at least drop stones from a great height to chip away at walls, some birds do this with turtles except the turtle is dropped at high speed, but I've yet to hear of a bird doing stonework.

Maybe the birds rebuild fortifications with sticks and twigs?
