Die Vögel haben einen “Späher”…Einbildung oder nicht?
Hallo! 🤗
Ich beobachte sehr gern die Vögel die sich in unserem Garten aufhalten, da wir ihnen dort Futter und Wasser zur Verfügung stellen.
Mir ist dabei aufgefallen, dass immer zuerst ein ganz bestimmter (relativ auffälliger) Vogel mit langen Schwanzfedern in den Garten kommt, an einen von vielen Seiten gut sichtbaren Ort fliegt/hüpft und dann den Kopf hin und her bewegt und dabei die Schwanzfedern auf und ab bewegt.
Erst NACHDEM er das gemacht hat, begeben sich die anderen zu den Futter- bzw. Trinkstellen.
Vorher ist der Garten wirklich LEER…
Auf mich wirkt es so, als ob er sich umschaut ob alles sicher ist, es seinen “Kumpels” dann durch spezielle Bewegungen mitteilt und sie dadurch dann quasi zu sich ruft, so nach dem Motto: “Leude passt alles, die Luft ist rein, ihr könnt rauskommen! Hab extra gründlich geguckt! Die da hinten is keine Gefahr für uns, die is weeeeeit weg!”
Ist das alles nur Einbildung, oder ist es wirklich möglich, dass ein bestimmter Vogel ein “Späher” oder “Informant” für viele andere Vögel verschiedener Arten ist?
Und: Bin ich die einzige, die solche Erfahrungen beim Beobachten von Vogel-Gruppen macht?
Würde mich über wirklich ernst gemeinte Antworten freuen!
P. S.: ich hoffe ihr bleibt alle gesund!😉

There is something like that in many bird species.
In your specific case, I cannot judge it remotely.
On my special area, the Australian Shaftsittich (Melopsittacus andulatus) I know very well.
For in the wild waves in the Australian outback you also know such behavior.
During the food search and also when drinking surface waters, there is the observation that “slates” are sent out to the vicinity, which alert calls send when a danger to the eating or drinking artisans lurks somewhere.
One even suspects that the position of the supposed fress enemy is displayed by the warning call and the flying of the warning end.
In this case, waves are so intelligent that the birds can assess whether or not there is a danger of the existing fress enemy.
So there are situations in which wave-sittiches instinctively know that there is no danger from a prey gripper in the vicinity, for example a falcon.
So it can come to the very difficult situation that wave-sittiches drink in the face of their worst fress enemies without threatening them from them.
If waveforms have such and other patterns of behavior, then the assumption that there is something like that in other species of birds can be highly likely.
I mean to have read reports about it, too.

You really seem to be a professional in your area!👍
But does this also go beyond species?
Because that would be the case with me…🤔
And I’d have another question:
Could this scout then remember specific persons, in which he then knows exactly what they do not in any case pose a danger?
I would be happy to answer!🤗
I’m overwhelmed. In the case of waves, I know that they can remember people and also their clothes. I don’t want to speculate on other birds. This is beyond my current knowledge.
I’ve been watching that. A few birds had their nest in the hedge. There a bird always first flew to a branch near and then the other to the nest. The bird on the branch warned even when someone came too close to the hedge.
Exciting observations!
This eye-catching bird, could that be an Elster?
I know of my observations that birds have a very fine alarm system and warn each other against obvious dangers. If, for example, in my garden, the blue sea sees a bird of prey, it strikes an alarm (cicide-deadädädädädädäde) and, depending on which bird comes and how dangerous it is, the others react. The amsules and many others call very high at risk from the air. The message spreads rapidly and all birds in the area (and I) are informed.
Birds are masters in reading the body language. Both the body language of artisans and other birds, as well as mammals, including humans. You can recognize or differentiate very fine nuances of mood and react accordingly.
Wow!😮
Thank you, this is very informative!
(I don’t know if there’s the word, but you know what that means, don’t you?)
And no it’s certainly not an Elster, if the bird actually looks very similar.
Recently there has been an Elster in our garden and that was really a lot bigger.
Besides, the bird has a gray-blown back.
P. S.: thank you very much!
Another tip:
The book “The Secret Language of Birds” by Ralph Müller. Very exciting!
Especially in the case of swarm birds, I’ve seen it a lot. As soon as one dares, all the others also come to the feed bowl.
Yes, there are, not just vei birds. One is the most courageous (or the stupid) that must or dare and then comes the rest. Is also so with us in the garden, due are our pair of redfish and a few minutes later comes rest.
