Colony roosting behavior

Colony roosting is when birds gather together in groups to rest or sleep, often in specific locations like trees, caves, or man-made structures. This behavior provides benefits such as protection from predators, increased warmth, and social interaction. Many bird species prefer to roost in colonies to enhance their safety and survival chances, especially during cold weather or harsh conditions. The size and location of these colonies can vary depending on species, habitat, and environmental factors. Overall, colony roosting is an adaptive strategy that helps birds optimize their safety and energy conservation during rest periods.
