Hiss like a snake?

Postby Pajarita » Wed Jan 29, 2020 11:15 am

This is a study that presents a theory that birds hiss just like snakes native to their habitat. It's done on tits which also nest in cavities and hiss when danger approaches - JUST LIKE TIELS DO! Is it possible that tiels do it to deter predators by making them believe it's a snake?!
