Dear Cali Chica:

This frenzied behavior is authentic to the bird if all birds of that species behave that way, frenzied like. Is it authentic to Cali Chica? Look at other humans, those of your species, are they all frenzied, like you?

Some are, many are at times, a lot are frenzied a whole lot of the time, all are cautious though, alert to danger. I suppose it is authentic for us humans to be alert to danger, to be alarmed at times, but not frenzied. Similar to the deer and elk I observe on my walks, it is authentic to them to be somewhat relaxed when eating, but when they hear possible danger, they get alarmed and stop eating and they just stand there looking, alert, watching, then either moving away, going elsewhere, or resuming eating. Until next time they hear a possible danger.

It is not authentic for us humans to be calm all the time, as desired as it feels like (people get hooked on narcotics for that reason and people invented heaven for that purpose). It is authentic for us to be alert, cautious and reasonable relaxed in between  alerts.
