Abstract:

In this article the author is discussing the practice of the brown-headed cowbird laying its eggs in other bird species nests. The practice of a bird laying its eggs in another birds nest is called “brood parasitism” and is a common practice in other bird species. The cow bird will lay their eggs in the nest of another bird and that other bird will raise the chicks till they are ready to fly and leave the nest. Other species of animals also use “brood parasitism” like the cuckoo bee which will lay its eggs in another bees hive. There is a difference between the practices of “brood parasitism” between the cowbird and cuckoo bee which is that he cuckoo bees young hatch emailer then the young of the original bees and would steal the other young’s resources. In some cases the cuckoo bee’s larva will kill the other larva. Since the cuckoo bee takes the recourses like pollen and nectar from the hive they are placed into the adults do not pollen catching hairs.
