Answer 2

I saw that on a nature program once. I dont remember the name but I do remember that the intruder bird was bigger than the legitimate bird and he would throw the legtimate bird out of the nest. Even though the intruder bird was way bigger the mother would not know the diference. Sorry I don't remember the name.

Answer 3

its a very very hard type of relation to explain but its like this the warbler bird is a very small bird and has small eggs and the cow bird will take a egg from the warblers nest replace that egg with its own and eat the warbler egg there for raising the cow bird population and making the warbler population go down hill oh and because of the cow bird being a large built bird the warbler mother thinks that her real warbler chicks are very weak so she kills her own chicks (not knowing any better) to raise what looks like the heather chick (cow bird) while killing her own hope this helps!

Answer 4

Cuckcoos and brown cow birds are noted for their parasitism of other birds' nests. Once the parasite's egg hatches it pushes the unhatched eggs or chicks out of the nest to die. The parents feed the parasitic chick as though it is their own chick.

Answer 5

Cuckoos do not build their own nests. A female cuckoo lays her eggs in the nest of a crow. The size of a cuckoo's egg and crow's egg is same and that's the reason why a cuckoo lays her eggs in a crow's nest.

Answer 6

Most species of Cuckoos, not all though. We have a species here called (incorrectly) a marsh pheasant or common coucal, it is a Cuckoo that rears it's own young.
