To diminish mosquito populations, attract birds that eat insects on the wing (they catch flying insects in the air). The main ones are swallows such as the tree swallow, violet-green swallow, and barn swallow. The eastern kingbird also catches flying insects. Many other insect-eating birds can help to control wasps and, possibly, mosquitoes including chickadees, house wrens, gray catbirds, bluebirds, vireos, warblers, orioles, tanagers, and even some of the sparrows such as the chipping sparrow. Even some seed-eating birds can help control mosquitoes, since this is what they feed their young in the spring.
the European bee-eater eats bees and wasps and other insects

No bird feeds on wasps. They find them unpalatable.
A large number of wasps is called a swarm. Wasps are known to feed on other insects and there are over 20,000 species of wasps.
Parasitism; field digger wasps feed on flies.
birds, wasps and humans
Enemies of wasps include a variety of invertebrates such as various species of dragonflies, hornets, centipedes, beetles, moths and spiders; birds such as blackbirds, magpies, starlings and wrens; and mammals such as bats, badgers, skunks, weasels and rats.
I'm not sure 'help' is necessarily the right word: wasps will capture caterpillars and feed them to their larvae.

Insectivorous birds are birds that feed on insects.
No, red admiral butterflys are NOT an endangered species, they are actually quite common. Their predotors are birds, Spiders, wasps, bats and other large insects. :)
A cardinal bird does not really have a job with its species. They are meant to eat, breed, and raise new generations of cardinal birds.
No they are not. Bees and Wasps are two separate species.
DietGenerally wasps are parasites as larvae, and feed only on nectar as adults. Some wasps are omnivorous but this is relatively uncommon, they feed on a variety of fallen fruit, nectar and carrion. Many wasps are predatory, preying on other insects. Certain social wasp species, such as yellowjackets, scavenge for dead insects to provide for their young. In turn the brood provides sweet secretions for the adults.In parasitic species the first meals are almost always provided from the animal the adult wasp used as a host for its young. Adult male wasps sometimes visit flowers to obtain nectar to feed on in much the same manner as honey bees. Occasionally, some species, such as yellow jackets, invade honeybee nests and steal honey and/or brood.Source: http://www.answers.com/wasps+?gwp=11&ver=2.3.0.609&method=3

It depends on the species of bird. In many species, the male does not help rear the chicks. In some species, such as the ostrich, the male spends a good deal of time taking care of the chicks.
