Hosts of brood parasites may have not developed antiparasitic defenses either because host and parasite are recently sympatric or because costs of potential defenses outweigh their benefits. We studied antiparasitic defenses of the Brown-and-yellow Marshbird (Pseudoleistes virescens) against the Shiny Cowbird (Molothrus bonariensis), evaluating recognition and aggression toward female and male Shiny Cowbirds, estimating rates of rejection of cowbird eggs of different colors, and testing the effect of the size of parasite eggs on host rejection. We also observed and video-recorded host nests to estimate hosts’ nest attentiveness, frequency of cowbird visits, and interactions between marshbirds and cowbirds. When marshbirds were faced with du...
