There are many instincts that we all have in order to survive from reproduction to survival skills. Birds instincts include some of these as well. For example, they fly south when it is cold in the winter time in order to stay warm to survive. They also communicate to one another by chirping.

Other sources explain more:

A good example of an immediate instinct for certain types of bird is imprinting. This is the behaviour that causes geese to follow around the first moving object that they encounter, as it tends to be their mother.

Check out the book, Chapter 10:
