T-Shirt Tuesday: The Cowbird

Today's highlighted t-shirt design features one of North America's least-liked birds, the Brown-headed Cowbird. Cowbirds have an unusual breeding strategy, living as brood parasites. They lay their eggs in other bird nests and may use mafia-like tactics to keep their eggs safe and ensure the foster parents will care for their chicks. In this original spoof logo design from Birdorable, The Cowbird is depicted as the king of mobster bosses.
