Della these birds are seed eaters and they're very pesty--almost desperate-like. I can chase them out of one end but they just fly down to the other end. They're looking for seeds, ripping open buds and tearing petals off those already blooming. They're real bad this morning. Never had a problem like this so early--don't quite know how to deal with it.
You're right about the animal world 'learning from each other'. They also care about each others welfare a times. The other day I had to shoot a bothersome cottontail rabbit and all different kinds of birds instantly came from out of nowhere and landed around him as if to try and help. In another instance earlier this year, two male robins were in a death match fight on the ground until they were both literally flat on their backs exhausted. In that situation many other kinds of birds tried unsuccessfully to break it up. Birds that you would never expect to become involved like Baltimore Orioles or even Wrens--but they were all there but a hummingbird; In such instances they all become instant allies.
