colonial species

a species in which several breeding groups of birds live in spatial proximity. Cliff swallows and herring gulls, for example, build nests in proximity to many others of their species (colonial nesting). Colonial species can benefit from their proximity in collective defense against predators, but there may be extreme competition or infanticide between neighbors and increased risk of disease transmission.
