What kind of bird would you say is on the midpoint between a hawk and a dove, in terms of power?
Just to clarify, I'm trying to figure out an ornithological metaphor for someone who prefers diplomacy and non-violence but can accept military action if necessary, in matters of defense.
Actually, a hawk would be the bird in the middle. It has the capability to fight if it has to, but also the sense to conserve its energy if a fight's not necessary. The bird that's always ready for a fight is the blue jay.
