This is really interesting actually! Because actually the såli and the bird you speak of are different birds, but with Guahan's drastic change in their birds, some birds here are referred to differently than what our ancestors knew them as. Såli is the Micronesian starling.

The bird you refer to that "dive bombs" is the black drongo, a bird that is very territorial esp when nesting. There are very few, if any, sålis on Guahan now. Drongos have a distinct forked tail. Even what some call a chichirika here is not the actual chichirika.
