Bird Behavior
Birds do plenty of things that can leave us wondering what in the world they’re doing.
Why does a cardinal attack a window? Why do birds suddenly gather in huge flocks? Why do some birds chase much larger birds? Where do birds sleep at night? Why do they puff up their feathers, spread their wings, bob their heads, or repeatedly return to the same place?
Our Bird Behavior guides explore the reasons behind the interesting, confusing, and sometimes surprising things birds do.
Learn about feeding behavior, communication, territorial behavior, courtship, mating, flocking, migration, sleeping, bathing, preening, flying, predator avoidance, seasonal behavior, and interactions between different species.
Wild birds don’t always behave exactly the same way, but understanding common behavioral patterns can tell us a remarkable amount about what’s happening right outside our windows.
