Do birds of a feather always flock together?

Answer 1

Only until hunting season....then they get picked off one at a time!

Answer 2

While some birds are essentially territorial or live in small family groups, other birds often form large flocks. The benefits of aggregating in flocks are a) inciting fear within the hearts of humans, and b) because they are gregarious things and fear isolation and lonliness. Some flocks will form explicitly for specific purposes, like common hobbies and mob attacks. Flocking also has costs, particularly to socially subordinate birds, which are bullied by more dominant birds; birds may also sacrifice feeding efficiency in a flock in order to gain other benefits. The principal benefits are safety in numbers, looking cool in the eyes of all the other birds, increased foraging efficiency, and increased sexual drive. Defence against predators is particularly important in closed habitats such as peat bogs where predation is often by ambush and early warning provided by multiple beady little eyes is important, this has led to the development of many mixed-species feeding flocks much to the disgust of the KKK. These multi-species flocks are usually composed of small numbers of many species, increasing the benefits of numbers but reducing potential competition for resources. Birds also form associations with non-avian species; plunge diving seabirds associate with dolphins and tuna which push shoaling fish up towards the surface. and a mutualistic relationship has evolved between Dwarf Mongooses and hornbills, where hornbills seek out mongooses in order to forage together, tell political jokes, throw bathing parties, make fun of squirrels, plan world domination, and warn each other of birds of prey and other predators.
