Thank you for sharing this, I didn't know about their connection to bison! Cowbird hate also comes down to how people not to stop moralizing wildlife by applying our set of morals onto their natural behaviors.

I’m so conflicted now! It’s ingrained in my brain that they are the bad guys but now I’m sympathetic to them 😢 I’m going to share this with my parents. They have tons of cowbirds in the woods around their home. They are actually very beautiful birds, too!

but they do come as swarms and gather and eat most of the seeds I put out for the other yard birds. & that’s not fair to other birds who have hardly nothing left of what I put out.

Interesting. What do the birds whose nest they lay the egg in do? Do they raise the eggs as their own, or abandon the nest?

I had never heard of them until my Merlin app identified them a few weeks ago in Orlando! I guess they moved on. Haven't heard them since.
