Killdeer broken wing act.

hahha its like in the story rikki tiki tava or however u spell it  :)

holyyy. I heard about this bird, that is amazing.

that is some good footage. thanks

Isn't that amazing that even birds know how to trick predators to help save their babies!

very cool. I work for a railroad and they love nesting in between the rails (the eggs are camoflouged (sp) by the ballast.

It pretends it has a broken wing to lead you away from the nest/chicks. When we were kids, we used to catch the babies (who run really fast) by going in the opposite direction the parents were going. No, we did not hurt the babies...just looked at them, put them down, and let them go back to mom and dad.
And no, birds don't abandon chicks who have been handled by humans.

Great video but can you explain why it feigns a brokern wing? I have some video of a bluejay we raised that you might want to check out.
