The Killdeer is a bird with a clever survival strategy.
When you see this bird dragging its wing and looking injured, your first instinct may be to help.
But the Killdeer is not actually hurt. It is pretending to be injured to lure threats away from its nest.
As you approach, it slowly moves away. If you keep following, it suddenly flies away.
This distraction display helps protect its eggs and chicks by drawing predators away from the nest.
