Killdeer bird nesting behavior
Killdeer build nests on the ground. The eggs only defense against predators other than camouflage are the parents' acting behavior. Adult killdeer feign injury and lure the predator away from the nest. Both male and female parents do this. They take turns sitting on the nest.

Killdeer don't build traditional nests, they lay their eggs in shallow scrapes on the ground. When danger nears, the parent risks everything to lead the threat away. | Nest & Nurture

Fooled by a bird…🪺 Killdeer build their nests on the ground, designed to blend into the surroundings. If threatened, mom has a few tricks up her wings…like pretending one of them is broken to lure away predators. She may also do the false nest act. To add insult, killdeer can make a cry that sounds like a chuckle. Killdeer are found throughout Texas. Watch where you step! | Texas Parks and Wildlife

Baby killdeer always come out running. They hatch with their eyes open, and as soon as their downy feathers dry, they start scurrying about, following their parents and searching the ground for something to eat. Killdeer chicks will also tuck themselves under their mother's wings for warmth and to keep dry. This is just one of the many reasons that the BirdFest & Bluegrass committee chose the Killdeer as the Bird of the Year this year! Donations made to the Friends on days like #GiveMore24 help

This is a killdeer. To us, it is a fascinating bird. If you haven’t encountered them before, this crying “display” is a common behavior to lure threats away from their nests. They usually build their nests on the ground and if anyone gets close to the nest, they start this shrill to bring the attention to them instead of the eggs or babies. Since this is late May in Kentucky, the eggs may have probably already hatched. As you can see, the cry often progresses into a “broken wing” display where t
