Saw three male dunnocks together and assumed it was an adult and two of this year's offspring, because I haven't seen dunnocks flock in breeding season, but apparently adult dunnocks will help feed all fledged young within their foraging range, also tmi RSPB:
"For females, that may mean mating with more than one male, in the hope that they'll both help rear her chicks. Clearly, that doesn't suit the males. So before mating, they may try to remove a rival's sperm by pecking the female's rear end (the cloaca - through which both poo and eggs exit) and encourage her to eject it! However, what works for one pair of dunnocks might not work for another. There are several different strategies they might use:
* A male paired with a female (monogamy)
* More than one male paired with the same female (polyandry)
* A male paired with more than one female (polygyny)
* 'Pairs' with two males and two females (polygynandry)
And it's all going on in your shrubbery..."

Except it was no leaf at all but a small brown #bird!
They were terribly good though, they tried the windows and back door and hopped around my houseplants until I managed to open some escape routes.
They didn't panic or poop everywhere and I think they managed to sneak past me and get out entirely un-herded as they knew I was trying to help.
Best of luck, little #dunnock!
