Cowbirds lay their eggs in other birds nests, leaving the young to be raised by the host species.
Cowbirds eat seeds and plants, which makes the herbivores.
The relationship between buffalo and cowbirds is a form of commensalism. Cowbirds often follow herds of buffalo, benefiting from the insects and parasites that are disturbed and exposed as the buffalo graze. While the cowbirds gain a food source without harming the buffalo, the buffalo do not receive any significant benefits or detriments from the presence of cowbirds. This interaction illustrates the interconnectedness of species in ecosystems.
