Brave Bird??

I wish every parent was like that. Very interesting.

Some mothers are incredibly brave. And what a pretty bird it is too.

The blacksmith plower bird is a nice looking bird.

I've seen those birds around here, but only grown up ones so I've never experienced that. But I've seen videos of other bird species standing up to big animals that way. Strangely the birds I've encountered up close (not plovers but birds of a similar size) were far more protective of their eggs than they were of their children.

Birds are very active when it's time to protect their nests. Even the little sparrows attack the cats if they see their babies menaced.

What a good mother protecting her little ones from danger.

That is an interesting nature fact.

Yes, it is an amazing bird.

I have never heard of this bird. I am off to check out the video on it.

Attacking an elephant is David vs Goliath.

They have pretty long legs with respect to their size. Seems as they are braver when making nests right on shallow grounds. Perhaps they think it is easier to guard their youngs this way?
