Brown-Headed Cowbird Molothrus Ater

NY, Setauket

... there is hardly anything cute about these baby birds. After they've disposed their step-siblings
they bring their step-parents to the edge of exhaustion with their huge and continous demands for
meals. Here a Song Sparrow has to suffer through the cruel procedure ...

Wow, can you believe that? The same situation happened to my housefinches and lesser goldfinches! I tried to scare the cowbirds away, but it didn't work. Instead, my finches did not appear for some time. >"<
