Answer 1

Brood parasitism in birds is an interesting example of parasitism in which the parasitic bird lays its eggs in the nest of its host and the host incubates them.

Explanation:

Brood parasitism is a sort of social parasitism in which eggs are laid in the nests of other birds, allowing the eggs to hatch and the young to be nursed by the hosts at the expense of the hosts' own young on a regular basis. Cuckoos and cowbirds are two examples.
