Please identify these two birds.
Does this happen in the animal world?
Thanks.

in the nests of other birds. Which then hatch and raise them. It is a
type of Parasitism...

I'm way out of my area of knowledge here, don't think those bird are
in the US. The shape and actions are wren and warbler like, which is
what got me this far ;-) You could do a youtube search on Reed Warbler
and see if it acts similar...

I'm wondering why this poster (in Ohio?) keeps seeing all these odd birds.
