Cowbirds do not typically benefit songbirds; in fact, they often harm them.

This can reduce the reproductive success of the host songbird species, as they may abandon their own eggs or invest resources in the larger, more demanding cowbird chicks. Overall, the relationship is generally detrimental to songbirds.
