Kulik-the-artist and Kulik-the-animal fight using the means available to both of them. The first is drawing his self-portrait with his «beak», remembering that he is a bird (see In Fact, Kulik is a Bird), while the second is always displeased with the conventionality of the result. In Riga the conflict reached its climax when one of the kuliks (which one?) broke the glass self-portrait with his hand, and had to be rushed to hospital for surgery.
