A pretty female cowbird. They are quite obnoxious and they are bad moms. They lay their eggs in the nests of other birds to be fostered. They do not raise them themselves. Instead, they terrorize the bird community. 😂
Nice capture of this female cowbird! I can always tell when they're near because they make a popping sound like when you put your tongue at the top of your mouth and pop it. =)
Oh wow - they sound like the various cuckoos we get over here. That type of reproductive cycle just seems very unfair - I can see why you don't like them...
