Which reproductive consequence results when brood parasite birds employ mimicry?

💡 Explanation

Brood parasites mimic host eggs to ensure acceptance, thus, brood-parasite offspring receive parental investment from the host species, rather than the parasite parents raising their own young; therefore, this behavior leads to reduced host investment in their own offspring, because the parental care gets misdirected.
