- Great Tit is feeding own (unsuccessfully) and Common Cuckoo nestling. This is accompanying video to publication: Grim T., Samaš P., Procházka P. & Rutila J. 2014: Are tits really unsuitable hosts for the common cuckoo? Ornis Fennica 91(3): 166-177.

The cuckoo chick's begging behavior and the noise it makes are designed to mimic a whole nest full of the host bird's babies. This triggers the parents to really focus on feeding it a lot of food.
Aw yeesus.
@@Jukelikesgames i agree with your username
I'd laugh if the entry hole to the nesting box is too small for the cuckoo to fledge through.
#16 Racing is hey would starve to death :)
the adult cuckoo had to get in there to lay the egg in the first place
@@digiquo8143 it probably stuck its bottom through but that cuckoo won't be able to get out and then it will starve :)
@@digiquo8143 a fully grown, all fattened up chick is often larger than its parents.
@@digiquo8143 damn that's true.
WOW ONE OF THE REAL CHICKS ACTUALLY SURVIVED YESSS LITTLE BUDDY YOU MAD IT

Because it is a nest box
If only the birdhouse entrance was a bit smaller there never would have been a Cuckoo egg to begin with.
Chances are it killed at least two other host chicks/eggs in the attempt and taking in all the food from host parents. You can see one of the killed eggs in the corner, got stuck and killed due to no heat.
not aby longer trust me...
IKR!!!! The mommy birds literally sit and watch their eggs being ejected. Smh
I never thought a bird would fill me with rage. Watching it shaking, begging to be fed just bothers me.

yeah me to sister
Well, a minute into the video, the cuckoo is also threatening the host parent when it feeds its own chick rather than it! Bird language for "You'd better feed me and only me! You may be the parent here, but I'm the bigger bird. I'll bite you!". Very frustrating!
He also attacks the mother asking to be fed
Y'all are so stupid. It's a bird and a baby at that, it has no idea what it is, it runs on instinct and there's nothing malicious about it. Cuckoos grow fast and they need a lot of food.
1:01 look at that cuckoo biting the bird that's feeding it for more food!
So direspectful
@@GalankAdityaM Cuckoo: "You may be the parent here, but don't you dare forget that I'm the bigger bird! Whether or not you raise me makes no difference now, whatsoever! Unless you wanna get repeatedly bitten by my obnoxiously sharp beak, you'll feed ME everything, and your natural offspring, NOTHING!!"
Cuckoo bird : feed me, feed me!
Mom bird : no **feeds other chick**
theres an egg right next to the cocoo must have pushed it there so that parent wont warm it
they normally push them out of the nest but it looks like the opening is too high for that
Exactly, the cuckoo ejected the egg to get rid of potential "competitors"...eggs outside of nest cup are usually ignored by parent.
The big said babybirld,is not thisnext is out said bird put not have build a nest, go to someone else's nest to lay eggs, lir otherbirds to help take care raise their own babybirds growning up
@@petersamas6798. what happened to the egg on the side? why didn't you take the grown intruder out, so the mother could incubate the egg?
@@s.guttmann6625 Often times, Cuckoo parents will return and destroy the entire nest they parasitised, killing all the remaining chicks, should they find that their egg/chick has been removed by any means whatsoever (whether it be the parent birds' ejection or by humans) from the nest they parasitised - thus, no chicks at all would survive in that case. This is called the 'mafia hypothesis'. Cuckoos control some levels of insect species from getting out of control, since they tend to eat so much. That's why most nature experts say it's best to leave it alone if you happen to come across any type of parasitised bird nest. This is a very difficult thing to do since cuckoos like this one are so hateable.
It's only fortunate that the actual chick managed to survive long enough to reach a reasonable size.
Does anyone else find it interesting how the mother feeds her real chick first before the cuckoo chick? Also, anyone else concerned that the cuckoo will smother the other chick to death? I wish the poster of this video told us what happened at the end… this is the first time i saw a cuckoo coexist with another chick.
@@dynamicdave2647 you mean, mother tries to feed her real chick. But she failed.
@@VVarat i think she failed only because the food she brought was too big
@@dynamicdave2647 It doesn't look that big... I'm not an bird expert, but we can see mother putting the food in chicks mouth many times, but that's all. I don't know how that works, is the mother failing to let go of the food, or the chick fails to grab the food?
Sometimes the parent will check the strength of the chicks pulling on the food. If the chick doesn't pull hard enough on the food then the parent thinks to give the food to a stronger chick.@@VVarat
If this were in my garden. I would have had cuckoo bird egg omelette a while back.
Unicorn Bunny i dead💀💀💀💀
A while back? I'm sure cuckoo bird tastes like chicken!
Ha ha its a terrible little parasite but killing its to good for it...
Jk i don't mean torture,its probably going to starve days later when it can't leave the nest.
Hahaha
@@PELTIER5 ohhhhhhhhhh i never taught about that
I love how the parent is like ,” no big fat one you don’t need extra food, we already know you are just one big fat chick.”
😂😂😂
I don't think it will be able to get out when the day comes
Lmfao. Justice!
well, if its parent was able to shit there, then her baby will succeed to get out also ))))
😇😆😂
Is there a video of the moment the cuckoo chick is ready to fledge?
Vindication for that one egg.🤣🤣🤣
At least the Cuckoo is inadvertently keeping the other chick warm..
lol ya
Yeah, whether he likes it or not.
Or suffocating it. Either way warm is warm.
😂😆
There is a species cuckoos that produce a smell which put off cats so a symbiotic relationship can occur, but it's rare.
The stupid parent bird hung onto the bug too hard and the baby tit couldn't get it away.
It's interesting to see that both the cuckoo and the chick survived. Probably the artificial box did the correct job preventing the fratricide of at least of the brood. I imagine how hard it had been for the cuckoo getting out of the box because of the grates😆
1 egg got pushed out
Maybe it's fat ass will get stuck in the box and die!!!!!
So no one wants to talk about how the cuckoo bird is hitting the mother bird.
Thats partly the point of the video. The parasite wants to be fed so badly.
Very unusual a cuckoo leaves a host birds nestlings to live.Never heard of it before,might be worth sending to Springwatch at a later date.I hope the Great Tit does manage to raise her own nestling,but it quite likely to get squashed by the cuckoo
Yes, mixed brood (cuckoo with host nestlings) can be observed more often in (semi)cavity nesters such as great tit or redstart. Great tit fledged succesfully and had even above average weight. In this nest, female cuckoo laid her egg originally into redstart nest which was later usurped by the great tit (see the redstart egg next the cuckoo). Very unusual case.
why didnt the redstart select a proper nest?
Usually the cuckoo can eat the left over chick, I don't know why haven't here
burnleyfan11965 : Its becoz of the nest type..Here is a box so the cuckoo chick can't push the other chick off the nest box coz of the height of d box hole.
When a cuckoo cannot get rid of eggs (cause of the shape of the nest) he usually bully other chicks stealing them food but he don't kill them.
Seeing ppl mad at a baby bird as if it's an adult human will always be hilarious to me. It has made me love cuckoos.
Did anyone who left a previous comment even pay attention? You can see that the cukoo got the bug not the other chick the smaller bird was too small too swallow the food it was pretty damn apparent unless you're blind.
I disagree. I think the small baby kept clamping down on the mothers beak it didn't allow him to grab the insect. On more than one occasion the insect went all the way in his mouth
@@VentureWelding A year later reply... 0:54 watch carefully, the mom fed the cuckoo.
@@goshtic9565 Read their post again, because he's not arguing otherwise. He's responding to someone who implied that the bug was too big for the host chick to eat. He was pointing out that the mother fit the bug all the way into its mouth multiple times, but decided to feed it to the cuckoo anyways.
As for why, it's likely because birds rely on it "catching" on a specific part of the inside of a chick's mouth to know it'll go down properly, and it simply wasn't happening. Could also be due to an inexperienced parent, or the incessant begging from the giant cuckoo chick.
Dont know why the mom brought a food too big to fit inside chicks mouth
If I ever find I a cuckoo bird chick in a nest, I'm just gonna grab it, then....
YEET
cat food.
I said it in another post but: "I must advise against it since it's proably illegal, but if you have to do so anyway remember to wear fresh gloves. If you get your smell on the other eggs or chicks the parents may abandon them."
Make me want to get a bird house and pray to get a cuckoo so I can kill it.
Wanna see something cool? Two Cookoos in a nest trying to push each other out. Ultimate battle that i always wished for... ua-cam.com/video/ilS6DwFlsb8/v-deo.html
Make the bird house so the cuckoo cant push the other eggs out or bury the eggs. I love the way this cuckoo isn't being fed.
SL twentyeight I KNOW RIGHT
Lol...it's natural sirculate
Same
This probably won't get an answer but did you get the cuckoo out? There are bars so it can't leave on its own
Unbelievable !!!thanks for thé sharing .You’re lucky
So it's possible!
Tanks for this video.
Was the cuckoo able to escape the nest on it's own, or was it trapped inside?
The same bird(Great Tit) lives in Korea. Thank you for making it easy to view good quality videos😁 2021 Great Tit 🐤
Thank you! So this chick could've not been able to throw the host's eggs! Very rare.
Just insane bird cuckoo !
I like that nest, the cuckoo couldn't eliminate all the eggs n now have siblings to deal with
He is getting too big. There are bars in the hole!! I wonder if the big bird will make it out of that box!!
@@redhat4363 I'd worry that the big one would kill the other especially if he cant get out and he hungry.
@@redhat4363 if the mother put the egg inside in the same way he will go out… need too be more nest with small hole so no mother parasite can’t get in…
@@fortunafortuna2193 hm.. she could lay her egg without getting inside the box.
@@shycat5905
Nah, only the African Honeyguide ruthlessly and directly kills the competition. The least harmful parasite is the American Cowbird, which is smaller and better able to share. It only occasionally kills other chicks by pushing them out. The cuckoo is in between these two, and usually really doesn’t need to kill over food, but over space. In a box, however, there’s plenty of space, so all can potentially thrive, although it helps when the box is built in the round just big enough for the nest to be snug in, so he doesn’t have corners to push the eggs into. In those cases, he can try all day, they just fall right back into the nest. He might occasionally kill one from tossing her around too much, but that’s it.
How is that cocoo going to get out of that nest.
Mom : hmm , something strange going on here
He pushed me down 3 times while you are away but i climbed back up.
0:40 mom is like, finish your dinner, god damn it
First time I'm seeing a survivor with cuckoo chick.
What a beast!
Did that cuckoo attack the mother?, Did that little one survive? Is there a video till the end?
The little one probably survived because it was in pretty good condition a day before its fledging. We unfortunately don't have a video of fledging itself.
Peter Samas thank you I was hoping for the little one to make it through
I'm glad to see one of the host's chicks survived.
Does the little nestling survived? :O
Life is precious. Wishing you the best. Happy new year! New friend here. Blessings
That one weird car alarm, have you seen the mechanic to fix it?
The person who made this box is at fault for not making the hole smaller to prevent a cuckoo getting in to lay its egg in the first place
Or, maybe, he planted the cuckoo there for views? Disturbing.
The baby sibling missed its meal. I hope the mother is more careful next time. The Jethro bird seems like it has a huge appetite.
Please update, how its end?
You haven't more video about that nest?
How did it happen?
Is the egg in the corner dead?
Does mom realize that one chick is not her?.
Good vidio
A good mom feeding her real baby
Right thats what i was thinking. In the other videos, the mother feeds the cuckoo first bc of its bigger presence
Actually it did feed the cuckoo if you have good eyes.
Full video plz
Thar parasite bird won't come out alive since there is bar out side the entrance.
That's sum scary ass bird
Damn my mans got fed and STILL asked for more by pushing her..couldnt risk that with my mother for sure lol
And after??????
How will have gone out because hole is small than coocoo size bigger
Thanks for the video.
I saw the mother bird only fed her young but not the cuckoo. What happened to the cuckoo eventually ?
+SealMr2 Very interesting the host parent could recognize a parasite chick, very unusual in cuckoo host! What was the species of cuckoo host? We attempted to track this cuckoo using geolocator but the signal disappeared after few months after fledging, unfortunately.
Peter Samas but if it recognize parasite host why feed it so big? Why foster parents recognize it as parasitic?
I think that parents don't recognize cuckoo chick as a parasite (at least research suggests this) so observation of SealMr2 sounds exceptional to me in case the cuckoo starved to death.
Err.. Did I watch a different video? I saw the mother eventually feeding the whole meal to the cuckoo (the bigger of the two babies).
@@maddykash i saw that at first the mother tried to feed her real kid many times but he didnt eat. Only after that she gave food to adoptee
Good feeding
Peter could you explain and educate us all. What are the benefits to man kind, or the birds from your animal experiments ? Most comments on here dont know you did this deliberately for funded research, can you explain, apart from the fact you find it interesting, what the positive results of your forced fostering are ?

BIRD IS CUTE
I hate how it opens its mouth like that, waiting to be fed. So greedy and unfeeling. I would make it feel. Torment. Worthlessness. Oblivion.
You need some help there, Buddy.
Calm down it’s just a Chik.
Shut up, subhuman. @@mikefoley3785
It's nature. Welcome to life where things aren't fair
Lmaoo ppl here talking about how the sound makes them mad to me its feels good to listen to it begging for food and seeing the look of disappointment on its face as its goes hungry
1:01 "No vuelvas a hacer eso, o me das de comer a mi primero, o ya sabes... ¡atente a las consecuencias!"
"Ahora, sal a buscar mas comida, rapiditoo y mas vale que no te tardes!"
Kinda weird that we can tell them apart but the mama can't. Kinda like we have a sixth sense.
No, we just have a decent-sized brain
At least the smaller one gets worm by the bigger ass bird
Cuckoo is so big still like a baby
Second part please?
Mom said : Aw, shut up!!!
Why does the mom keep taking food away from the babies mouth?
It's too big to swallow.
Hope we'll have a another brood paratism bird that didn't toss eggs
Brothers 4ever
Now cuckoo learns how to share it ain't way to get the monopoly over the feed
How do these other bird get in there?
Planted by a human? Maybe for UA-cam views? Disturbing.
Like a baby bird feeding the mama bird instead
Il a pas réussi à faire tomber l’autre du nid😂😍
только одному удалось выжить
How is it possible for the cuckoo to leave the Nest when it's grown ? Ist the hole big enough ?
Good
Pls upload further part also if you have I want to know wht happen next.
Cannot shove away the little one if you have that opening too high to get off at lol
someone just made a same copy of this video and dated it for jan 27th 2021.
明らかに自分よりも遥かに図体のでかい奴に餌やってる事に何の違和感も感じてないという点が、鳥類という種の間抜けなところだな。
巣の形からして追い出せんかったんやな、ざまぁないわ
Bird: who da fuck are you? 😂😂👌👌👌✔✔✔
為什麼不把牠抓出來，將翅膀折斷，丟到地上讓別的動物把牠吃了。
I think ill feed my actualy baby. Nope, wait, nope...actually, nope. Just playing, sike.
She cannot feed the host chick because the bug was to big
very bead cuo
These young birds are so DISRESPECTFUL nowadays
Is the chick under it dying or is it just like when the moms sits on the nest?
I was wondering how the cuckoo lay the egg. besides the small hole, they also need to time their egg laying well so their chick is the first to hatch instead of the host. But nest box is totally cover up. they cant see the host eggs or the mother. it is a huge risk for the cuckoo mother to lay her eggs there.
Hes an animal researcher, he put the cuckoo in there, its not natural (read the title).
It's like cage match for cuckoo not like last man stand in ring I strongly hate such murder now ppl will reply its very sweet voice ...
what's?
The birds chick must of hatched before the cuckoo for it to still be alive
Dan Cousland No, it’s just that they’re in a high next box and it couldn’t remove it or do a good enough job of destroying it before it hatched.
Lmao! Cuckoo was like "You incompetent mother f***ers, go woman go! get back out there and get lil ray ray more food to pass up. Now come here ray ray I'll keep you warm as I cut your oxygen."
happy ending 😍
thank you so much this nice video
This bad Cuckoo is try to bite this mama bird
Th box was too deep fir the coo coo bird to push the other baby out so he is stuck with it...😅
not he pecked at his momma 😂
She left one egg out
Mohamed Dayekh Cuckoo probably did a good enough job of sabotaging it, so it never hatched.
Кукушонк не смог выбросить одного птенца??
Does anyone else find it interesting how the mother feeds her real chick first before the cuckoo chick? Also, anyone else concerned that the cuckoo will smother the other chick to death?
