This Killdeer bird is pretending to be hurt! Killdeer birds are known for their impressive ability to fake injuries, specifically a broken wing, to distract predators and protect their nests. This behavior, called a distraction display, is used when a predator approaches their nest which is often on the ground and not well protected. It’s always amazing to see the different adaptations these animals develop over time! • • • #bird #killdeer #killdeerbird #animaleducation #birdnest | Fishlikemike
