Why do mammals and birds care for their young?
Mammals and birds are born helpless. They must be fed and protected by their parent(s), in order to survive. Mammals are warm blooded and feed their young - meaning the mother nurses them and feeds directly from her body. Bird parents, usually both mother and father, eat food and partially digest it, then regurgitate it to their babies. As the young birds grow, the parents will continue to find and provide food, until their young are able to find food for themselves.
