Mockingbird feeding wrong babies?
OK, my first question is what kind of little bird is this ? Seems to build it's nest in my planters all the time and a bit skiddish. Next and more puzzling is why would the mockingbird (who has a nest around the corner) fight this bird off from feeding it's young and then to my disbelief feed the very same babies her(him)self? I was super amazed at this behavior as it continued for days. Her own nest was empty but she would also visit it often. Thanks all
