Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: Küstenseeschwalben (Sterna paradisaea) verteidigen ihr Nest und ihre Jungen sehr aggressiv. Sie stürzen sich aus niedriger Höhe aus einem Rüttelflug plötzlich auf den Störenden und können mit dem Schnabel empfindliche Verletzungen zufügen. Oft nutzen andere Vogelarten dieses Verhalten und brüten in der Nähe der Küstenseeschwalbe.
English: Arctic terns (Sterna paradisaea) protect their offspring extremely aggressively by very quick drop-downs from a stationary flight over their enemies. Other birds often benefit from this behavior by breeding very close to the Arctic terns.
