I don’t have any cows, but I do have a pair of brown-headed cowbirds – here’s the story of how they met…

I’ve been looking to settle down, I just need to find that special guy…

There’s a perch up there that looks promising – lots of action at that bar…

I’ll just take a seat here at the bar – do these feathers make my butt look big?

What’s that racket up there?

Ooooo – he’s cute!

Hey there, handsome….

And we lived happily ever after…

I have been told that cowbirds sneak their eggs into the nests of unsuspecting birds and move on, leaving the rearing of their young to strangers. So the story goes something like this…

Two young cowbirds fall in love, abandon their children to the foster care system, and fly off into the sunset partying and following cows until it’s time to do the whole thing again next year.
