Nidifugous and nidicolous organisms
text:
In biology, nidifugous organisms are those that leave the nest shortly after hatching or birth. The term is derived from Latin nidus for "nest" and fugere, meaning "to flee". The terminology is most often used to describe birds and was introduced by Lorenz Oken in 1816. The chicks of birds in many families, such as the waterfowl, waders, and gamebirds, are usually nidifugous. The opposite of nidifugous organisms are nidicolous organisms; a nidicolous organism is one which stays at its birthplace
