I was out with my 2.5 wk olds today and a couple hawks were above (we were in a coop no worries) and all of a sudden a chick gave out a wild siren like chirp and they all huddled together, once the hawks we're gone they relaxed and continued eating, a while later a butterfly flew overhead ( a big one, they're scary) and they did it again. Well I decided to try imitating this chirp and it worked, they all ran and hid (one actually laid down), I'm guessing its some kind of chick-alarm system?
Anyone else's birds do this?
