Actually, I've read a theory that it's the most selfish act of 'em all ~ the mother bird is attempting to distract the predator from her young so that her own genetic legacy will survive. The book to which I refer put it in a larger context, of course...

Dark Nature: A Natural History of Evil by Lyall Watson, in case anyone's interested. It was a good read.
