Mike Loughran on Instagram: "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 #animaleducat

Fooled by a bird…🪺 Killdeer build their nests on the ground, designed to blend into the surroundings. If threatened, mom has a few tricks up her wings…like pretending one of them is broken to lure away predators. She may also do the false nest act. To add insult, killdeer can make a cry that sounds like a chuckle. Killdeer are found throughout Texas. Watch where you step! | Texas Parks and Wildlife

Incessant foot tapping can be useful! Killdeer use foot trembling to stir insects and worms from their hiding spots just below the ground. These clever shorebirds are also known for their flamboyant wing flapping to distract potential predators approaching their well-camouflaged ground nests.
