There is a bird species with a curious relationship with nesting alligators. When the gator hunts; the bird will guard it's own nest and that of the gator. The bird also serves to provide an early warning system to any potential danger. In exchange, the gator provides "the muscle" and the bird is protected from predators both to it's self and it's nest. I was wondering what this bird species is called.

Thanks.
