Region-specific neuron recruitment in the hippocampus of brown-headed cowbirds Molothrus ater (Passeriformes: Icteridae)
Avian brood parasites do not raise their own young. Rather, they leave eggs and offspring in nests of other species. Finding potential nests to parasitize is mostly up to the female and requires enhanced spatial memory as the female must remember nest locations as well as whether each located nest i...
