What is brood parasitism? Explain with the help of an example.

 

Answers (1)

In this type of parasitism, a bird lays its eggs in the nest of another bird. The eggs resemble those of the host bird. The host bird incubates the eggs, unaware of its actual identity. This is seen in Koyal (cuckoo) which lays its eggs in a crow’s nest.
