Breeding
The Shiny Cowbird is a generalist and obligate brood parasite. It is obligate since it has lost the capacity to build nests, consequently it is necessarily interspecific. It is generalist since it parasitizes several species. More than 200 species have been recorded in all the area of its distribution Read more aobut Brood Parsitism
