Cowbirds do not typically benefit Songbirds; in fact, they often harm them. Cowbirds are brood parasites, laying their eggs in the nests of other bird species, which can lead to the songbirds raising cowbird chicks at the expense of their own. 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.
