The Mobbing Behavior of Birds

Bird mobbing behavior involves a group of birds collectively attacking or following a predator, like a hawk or owl, to defend their territory or nests. This behavior alerts other birds nearby, warns the predator to leave, and helps protect their young. Birds use loud calls, swooping, and aggressive flying tactics to drive away the threat. Mobbing is a cooperative effort that enhances group survival by reducing the risk of predation. It demonstrates their social coordination and vigilance in maintaining safety within their environment.
