The Eastern Towhees like to stay by themselves. The male defends his large territories from other male towhees, even if it is large enough for other towhees.
They are often victims of the Brown-headed Cowbird, because the female cowbirds will lay its eggs in the towhee nests, and the towhees will end up raising the young cowbirds. The towhees can’t tell their eggs from the cowbird eggs; one reason is because the cowbird will take the towhee egg out of its nest. Towhees likes many different types of food, like; snails, spiders, insects, seeds, fruits, etc. They also like blackberries, blueberries, grasses, wheat, and flower buds in the spring time and etc The photos here are of the male Eastern Towhees.
