Check out this handsome male in the top photo. He sits on top of a plant and watches. The behavior of these birds is similar to that of meerkats. They are also constantly on the lookout for their territories. In the spring for protection from encroachments from other males, warning of predators, and in the summer they protect their children.
In the second photo and below, you see just young birds that just left the nest and went out into the big world.
They stick together, and from an early age they also sit on the tops of plants.
