They can be quite aggressive. A few years ago I had a good crop of apricots on my tree which were the site of an ongoing battle between a group of wattlebirds and a group of lorikeets. It would get quite noisy. In the midst of it all there was one raven that would just fly in and grab a single apriocot every day and just ignore the ongoing war.
