why are cowbirds considered unusual?
Egrets, aka cowbirds, eat insects. The young birds are fed by their parents, just as other bird species are. The parents feed on the insects, then regurgitate the food into the baby bird's open mouths. That is why a baby bird will raise its head and open its mouth wide when they sense, feel, or see movement above them.
Some species, like cowbirds and other blackbirds, feed on the insects and worms turned up by the plough.
Yes it is genetic but it is not always considered to be a disorder. It is a very unusual trait but it does not affect the cognitive function or quality of life of people who have it. (Except the prejudices of other people.)

Atypical means "not typical", not conforming to a usual or regular type of something, or irregular.
A group of cowbirds is known as a "corral" and a "herd" of cowbirds.
Cowbirds eat seeds and plants, which makes the herbivores.
Cowbirds are considered parasites because they lay their eggs in the nests of other bird species. The host bird then raises the cowbird chick as if it were its own, often at the expense of its own offspring. This behavior can harm the reproductive success of the host bird species.
Cowbirds are considered parasites because they lay their eggs in the nests of other bird species, relying on them to raise their young. This behavior allows cowbirds to save energy and resources that would otherwise be spent on nest-building and caring for their own offspring. However, this can negatively impact the host bird species by increasing competition for resources and reducing the survival of their own chicks.

no of course not.
Cowbirds in northern states move south. Southern cowbirds don't migrate.
What you saw was more likely a wren feeding a Brown-headed cowbird. Cowbirds are dark in color like crows but as adults are more blackbird-like in size. Cowbirds often lay their eggs in the nests of songbirds and allow them to hatch and raise the cowbird fledglings. This is a behavior known as brood parasitism and is normal for cowbirds. A cowbird fledgling oftentimes grows to become larger than the host parent that is raising it.
