Birds also know how to imitate

According to a study published in Cell Press magazine , scientists observed two species of female flybirds and noted that they were able to change their habitats to nest in areas of corn finches. , their direct opponents.

This is not an act of mimicking flycatcher machines, but the ability to analyze an information to change their behavior. In general, animals living in the community can learn from each other, even from other animals.

A previous study demonstrated that flycakes mimic species of birds and corn finches to select small branches. They came by the corn sparrow to share the situation.

To demonstrate the bird's ability to capture information, scientists studied two nesting areas of corn finches before the fly fly bird appeared. They created comfortable bird nests that can be identified by a geometric symbol. The corn finches quickly came to reside in these nests.

When the flycatchers appeared, they picked the marked nests and 75% of those who came later also imitated them.

The above results demonstrate that when many animals live together, share food sources. However, this may lead to a risk of food shortages.
