This bird is part of the Icteridae family. The female is entirely a very pale brown with a streaked belly. It is mainly insectivorous and feeds on the ground but can sometimes come to feeders.
It is unfortunately a bird that parasitizes the broods of other birds. Brood parasitism consists of the female going to the nests of other birds to lay an egg in each one. The brown-headed cowbird chick will always be born before the other chicks and will take advantage of this to knock the other eggs out of the nest. The adoptive bird will start caring for the brown-headed cowbird chick until exhaustion. She will eventually leave the place and then the chick will go to a feeder to stay there for a while before leaving to join a group of other young brown-headed cowbirds.

I made this bird because today a group of two females and a male came to my suet feeder. I was on my balcony at the time and was hesitating whether to scare them away or let them stay. They ended up moving away but if they were to come back, I will remain hesitant. But I have a feeling as if I shouldn't scare them away...
