I have wondered how the cowbird hatchling knows it is a cowbird, after being raised by other species. I have read and once seen how adult cowbirds come near the hatchling and speak to it in the nest. Then when it fledges, it finds the cowbird flock, as we have all seen. Let us know if you notice adult cowbirds talking to your hatchling?
