Brood parasitism is a method in which the parasitic bird lays its eggs in the nest of its host and the host incubates them. The eggs of the parasites resemble the eggs of the host bird and these eggs are raised by the host.

Example: The cuckoo bird lays its eggs in the nest of a crow. The eggs of the cuckoo are incubated by the crow.
