Cowbird: Middleware operation service

Cowbird (the brood parasite)

The brood parasite manipulates a host, either of the same or of another species, *to raise its young as if it were its own

The shiny cowbird is an obligate brood parasite, meaning that adults will lay their eggs in the nests of other species and their offspring rely entirely on their hosts for parental care.

(Wikipedia)

Cowbird is a middleware that manages interactions between various birds of the bird-house stack.

It therefore relies on the existence of other services under a common architecture, but applies changes to the resources under those services such that the complete ecosystem can seamlessly operate together (see Components Diagram).
