Although they have a place in nature, they have been doing a number on many songbirds up and down the east coast. They will lay their eggs in another birds nest, their eggs hatch first and the first thing they do after hatching is push out all other eggs/chicks so that they are the only survivor. They have played havoc with the bluebird population.
They had a nature special on PBS a few years ago about songbirds and their decline in the wild. Pretty interesting.
