First , the two will use camouflage as their first means of protection . The Killdeer will attempt to distract a predator away from the nest by feigning injury while leading the predator away from her nest whereas Quail will protect their offspring by covering them with her wings .
Outside of these stratagems I'm not sure what other means they employ in the protection of their young .
