If you thought human parents were overprotective of their wards, take a look at some feathered friends to see how they fare.
I once happened to witness a white-browed fantail flycatcher that kept fluffing out its feathers, hopping up and down and voicing her anger agitatedly, to an inquisitive cat 20 times her size, which resignedly turned tail and walked away. Then, along came a crow, hovering over the same bush. The little fantail shot out of its hiding place, pecked the crow, and drove him away. That is when I realised that the fantail was guarding her babies, in her nest, inside the bush. And zealously how.
