- Info Female brown-headed cowbird chattering in Queens, New York (males sing, but females also have a distinct chatter they make during mating season). They're not the most exciting birds to look at, but don't let her simple appearance distract you -- this bird is a bit of a monster (that is to say, a brood parasite). Rather than build a nest, she will lay her egg along with those of another bird, and the bird of another species will raise it as one of their own, often to the demise of their own chicks. Thus how it learns the distinct songs/chatters is a little bit of a mystery, since they're never raised by their own species. Anyway, we need FPs of chattering drab monsters, too. :) all by — Rhododendrites talk | 16:43, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
