Behaviour

The most advanced parental society yet recorded among birds is that of the ocellated antbird, which follows swarms of army ants in order to capture insects they flush in the neotropical forests. This bird's young stay with their parents for several months, then go and find mates, but return to their parents periodically for several years.
