Suggest adding "intraspecific brood parasitism has been recorded in 234 avian species" [1]
This is the most up to date count on the number of bird species that perform intraspecific brood parasitism. Scolypopa (talk) 04:08, 23 June 2022 (UTC)Scolypopa[reply]

All or almost all species of parasite ants (where a queen invades the anthill of another species, in some cases killing the host queen, and their larvae was taken care by the host worker ants) should not be also considered brood parasites? They seem undistinguishable from the examples of wasps and bumblebees in the article. Or are not included because the host workers also feed the parasite queen, and not only the larvae?
