Animal groups collaborate with one another throughout their lives to better comprehend their surroundings. Here, we try to model, using continuous random walks, how the entire process of birth, reproduction, and death might impact the searching process. We attempt to simulate an ecosystem where the post-reproductive foragers leave their colonies to discover where the targets are while others stay and breed at the base. Actually, a group of foragers searches for a location from where they access the targets for food supply. Particularly, we have explored a hypothetical situation in which the relocation to the new position depends on the agreement level of the species as well as an additional waiting time due to this agreement level. In this backdrop, detailed numerical results reveal that searching for an optimal position at an optimal mean time can be captured for a suitable range of the agreement level. We have also shown, for a given agreement level, the optimal mean time linearly increases with the Death-to-Birth ratio.
