A Brown-headed Cowbird fledgling sits next to its much smaller Yellow Warbler father, both leaning forward with their beaks open.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay prompt is #AdultsWithChicks. While this picture may not at first seem to fit, this is actually a #YellowWarbler father with its #BrownHeadedCowbird child. #Cowbirds are brood parasites, laying their eggs in the nests of other #birds.

Per Rob (@robcrank68.bsky.social), today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying and the Alt Theme is #Eating.
I've gone for the Alt theme with these three shots of a brown-headed cowbird.

Yes they probably didn't so much as follow the wild cattle we call the Aurochs, now extinct, as much as stand on them 😊 .. as one of many #Cowbirds

Unsure if this injury is temporary, but may have gotten it doing something dastardly. When the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #attitude, #Cowbird is a great choice...

I've read that brown-headed cowbirds have an interesting reproductive strategy. They somehow sneak into the nests of other bird species and lay their egg... the unsuspecting bird raises the cowbird with it's own.
