@birdladydrin: COVERED in PARASITES 🤢 No, not worms, mites, or ticks, the BIRDS! These are Brown-headed Cowbirds who never build a nest or raise their own young. Instead, the inconspicuous female lays her eggs in another bird's nest, leaving them to be reared by someone else! The host-parasite interactions among cowbirds and their hosts' nests are stranger than fiction, and I'd love to share more educational content if you'd like to learn more about the cool birds in your backyard! Just comment and let me know! ❤️ xoxo #birds #birdladydrin #cowbird #parasite #nest #brood #host #birdlovers #learn #unreal #birdwatching #brownheadedcowbird #flock #seeds #joy #like #follow #share #fyp
