Editing Common moorhen (section)

=== Nest parasitism ===
Common moorhens are known to partake in both intraspecific and interspecific parasitism, meaning they will lay their eggs in the nests of other moorhens as well as other species. The frequency of the former increases when there are an insufficient number of nesting sites, while the causes for the latter are relatively unknown. There is no one specific species that is the target of their interspecific paratisism, as moorhen eggs have been discovered in the nests of [[Eurasian coot|common coots]], [[Grey partridge|grey partridges]], mallards, and several other species. <ref>{{Cite journal |last=Haraszthy |first=László |date=2018 |title=Intra- and interspecific nest parasitism of Common Moorhen (review of cases and new data) |url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=asn&AN=130958248&site=eds-live |journal=Ornis Hungarica |volume=26 |issue=1 |pages=95–101 |doi=10.1515/orhu-2018-0007|doi-access=free }}</ref>
