@wildfactgalaxy: This Mother Bird Pretends to Be Injured to Save Her Babies A killdeer mother will risk everything to protect her chicks. When a predator gets too close, she performs an incredible broken-wing display, pretending to be injured so the predator follows her away from her babies. Then, once the danger is far enough away, she suddenly “heals” and escapes. Nature can be absolutely incredible. 🐦
