Name one species that doesn’t have it.

The Mockingbird (mimus polyglottis) is dauntless in defense of nest and territory, often driving away preadators many time her own size. I have personally seen mockingbirds drive away redtails, jays, crows, cats, possums, dogs, and humans without showing the slightest fear. Yet despite her fearlessness and ferocity in battle, she is a songbird, not a bird of prey. This is why we chose the mockingbird as our fammily symbol.

All birds learn this. They read your body language very well.

Where I grew up we had a mating pair of Mocking Birds. I loved their songs but in the spring for two or three weeks we couldn’t go out to the back yard because they would attack us and peck us on the head.
Very protective of their young,

We had studio in a section of Nashville filled with studios. Our mockingbird used to sing guitar riffs.
True.
