Depending on the species, and the time of year, it is quite common for birds to end up in small flocks, and often that is a group of three. This more likely occurs amongst species that are more social (think chickadees and titmice that you’ll see leading foraging groups), and more likely outside of the breeding season, because, well, three is a crowd. ~ Maine Audubon Staff Naturalist Doug Hitchcox
