The Barn by Ralph Hagen for July 25, 2020

I also lay my eggs in other birds nests, and they feed my chick to the detriment of the others.

Needs cow bell to go with cowbird.

I think it is more of a flushed out process.

Won’t get many bugs there. The “grazing mammals” have to move to stir up the bugs.

Karl gets “sloppy seconds”!

That is one smart bird.

So the grackles that show up when I cut the lawn are “mowbirds.”

Hum, mind shot…people grazing through fairgrounds…pigeons close behind! snort

Um, I think the colorists need to research the coloring of Cowbirds.

The sad result of the naming department running out of names when it came to naming them.

He’s laughing in his cow-pats? ☺

Maybe tomorrow they can explain a titmouse and an oxpecker.

just read they also their eggs in another birds nest and the foster bird raises their young. pretty sneeky. guess the bison, and cows though are happy aout that since they will spend their time eating the bugs instead of raising their family.

Catbirds sound like a cat. Why doesn’t a cowbird moo?
