Brown-headed cowbirds (Molothrus ater) are fascinating brood parasites known for their unique reproductive strategy. Unlike most birds that build nests and raise their young, female cowbirds lay their eggs in the nests of other bird species. This behavior leads to their young being raised by unsuspecting foster parents, often at the expense of the host's own offspring. These adaptable birds are mostly found in North America and exhibit a range of feeding habits, primarily consuming seeds and insects. Discover more about their behavior, habitat, and ecological impact.
