It breeds in most of South America
Our birds are similar in this aspect. I have a Harris's hawk, and she is also native to South America.
They are also known for their unusual mating habits.
Unlike most birds, which form monogamous pair bonds and work together to raise their young, shiny cowbirds are brood parasites.
The Harris's hawk is different from both of these groups. The Harris's hawk is polyandry. This means that the females are mating with multiple mates.
Happy New Year.
Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.
Thank you for your comment and for your well wishes! It is interesting to note the diverse mating behaviors observed in different species of birds. The shiny cowbird's behavior as a brood parasite, in which it lays its eggs in the nests of other birds and leaves the parental care to them, is certainly unique. On the other hand, the Harris's hawk's polyandrous behavior, with females mating with multiple males, is also uncommon among birds. I'm glad you enjoyed reading about these different mating behaviors and I hope you have a great day as well! Greetings and much love back to you from Brazil.
