B. When their eggs are rejected by the host birds, certain cuckoos and cowbirds, in the name of parenting, resort to bullying and destruction of host parents??? eggs, forcing many birds to adopt the unwelcome alien eggs in their nest.

Is that correct that first "their" refers to "cuckoos and cowbirds" while the second occurrence of a pronoun "their" refers to "many birds" (presumably to "host birds")?
