roosting habits
Where birds sleep
The patterns of where, when, and how birds settle to rest or sleep.
Ornithologists study roosting habits to understand species behavior—whether birds roost alone or in groups, in trees or on ledges, at dusk or through the night.
The crows' roosting habits bring thousands to the same grove each evening.
