The pitohui bird defends itself from predators by possessing toxic alkaloids in its feathers and skin, which it acquires from its diet of certain toxic beetles. This toxicity makes the bird unpalatable to potential predators. Additionally, the bright coloration of the pitohui serves as a warning signal, indicating to predators that it is toxic and should be avoided. This combination of chemical defense and warning coloration helps the pitohui effectively deter threats.

There are three birds that are considered poisonous. The Hooded Pitohui, aka, The Garbage Bird, it is "Pitohui dichrous", the Ifrita, it is "Ifrita kowaldi", and The Little Shrike-thrush, it is "Colluricincla megarhyncha". There is a toxin that is stored in their feathers and skin, probably from something they eat, it's suggested a beetle. I don't know if one is more poisonous than the other or not.

A darter bird protects itself by using its sharp beak and long neck to spear and catch fish underwater, its primary source of food. Additionally, darter birds are known for their ability to dive quickly and swim gracefully, making it challenging for predators to catch them.
Predators left these bird feathers in the garden.
An inchworm can protect itself because it can make itself look like a twig. Even the bird with the sharpest eye gets fooled. Nature is playing a prank on birds and other inchworm predators.
