Why do I always see those little black birds chasing after the big birds in the sky?
Question:
Answers:
For the same reason you see little kids chasing the bigger kids. Just to pester. The crows aren't agile enough in flight to defend against.
Those big birds are called crow, and usually the little birds chasing them are trying to run them off from their nest. Crow are lazy, dirty and try to be a bully to birds that will not stand up to them. Most times, I see a mockingbird chasing one of them off though.
Actually around here the crows chase both owls and hawks. I believe they are trying to drive off any predatory bird that may attack them singly, but cannot take on a whole murder of crows. Murder being what a flock of crows is called!!
