Episode Synopsis

In the Amazon rainforest, mixed-species bird flocks are led by the ant-shrike who warns the flock of bird-eating hawks. Interestingly, the ant-shrike often gives false alarms to distract other birds and steal their food, yet the flock tolerates this behavior due to its value as a vigilant hawk watcher. While such actions are natural for birds, humans are accountable for their moral choices.
