Danger!

Did you know that bird will band together to protect each other and their young from predators?  It's true!  Jays and Crows can be herd in the forest calling out alarms for all of the birds in the area when a predator is around.  Also, when a squirrel or snake or other predator is after a nest of eggs or young not only will the parents be there flapping wildly and trying to peck at the offender but other species of birds will come to their aid too.  In this way, they work together to protect each other and their offspring.  Just like a community would look after each other's children.  Neat, huh?
