Greetings,

The larger bird is a fledgling cowbird and it's being fed by a mature sparrow.

Apparently the cowbird will lay an egg in a song birds nest and the "adoptive" parents will raise it.

I forsee some counseling coming up

Cheers, Don

Excellent behavorial capture Don. I haven't seen this before.

I guess this is quite common, a member on another forum reported seeing this behavior with a cardinal.

At least a cardinal is bigger than a sparrow but still....

Cheers, Don
