The babblers have a sentinel system – individual birds take turns scanning for predators and warning the group. … These intense displays can continue for extended periods, with subordinates contributing more than dominants, until one group gives up and retreats.

For example, years ago, Eiton Tchenrov postulated that the wild progenitor of the domestic dog, some subspecies or another of wolf, could benefit from overlapping its breeding territory with human hunters. The humans tended to keep away a range of predators that might take the pups as a form of interference competition.

For humans, you have the drama of sister wives. And for wild pheasants ( Common , in Europe; or Ring-necked , stateside), a bigger group may actually present an existential danger. Maybe monogamy, with just one partner to support and protect, isn’t so bad after all. Having a harem sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

The associated bird species seek out drongos, apparently relying upon them heavily for protection. It very effectively forms a small foraging group in this manner. The drongo perches above the flock, snatching insects that they disturb, and keeping an eye out for predators that might go unnoticed by its hunting flock-mates.
