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.
@@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!!"
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.
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!
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.
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.
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?

@@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
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😆
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
@@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.
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."
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.
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.
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
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
@@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.
@@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…
@@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.

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."
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.
+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.
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.

Hi Peter, I have one idea for you to make an experiment if condition allows: 1. design a fox to attract a cuckoo whick come to "sneak" an egg into it. Of course you will see it. 2. somehow delay the hatch of that egg for a few day so that other birds get hatched and feed first. Then the cuckoo may not be able to squeaze them out. Or simply design a box so that the cuckoo and can never make it. The eggs it pushed always fall back. 3. after all eggs hatched, you can use a clamp or some tool to help to feed the chicks EXCEPT the cuckoo chick whild their parents are out. 4. meanwhile when you are feeding them, the chick will shit. it would be still nutricious since the parents will eat them. You pick up the shit with clamp and feed them right into the mouth of the cuckoo chick. 5. Let us know what the result will be. Show it in youtube: the cuckoo may die or still grow up. It may change the habit of laying egg into other birds nest.
I have a better idea. Have a small mechanical arm with a electrode probe. if the cuckoo chick tries to push the host chick or eggs out of the nest have the probe electrocute the cuckoo chick so that it learns not to do that the next time . lol
Птенец кукушки это всего лишь птенец, то есть ребенок, только более крупный. Птицы в нем видят своего младенца не более того. Соответственно ваше предложение тоже самое, как если вашего ребенка взять, поселить к другим и кормить дерьмом этих других. В лучшем случае он просто не станет есть.
Yes!!!! A great idea and experiment.....See if the cuckoo can survive on a straight shit diet!!!! Get it all on video and it would make alot of people happy....

@@fahoodie1852 I sometimes hear them during the summer where I live, but they are becoming rarer and rarer due to climate change (as climatic changes causes their hosts to change their breeding patterns to different times of year) and habitat destruction

theres an egg right next to the cocoo must have pushed it there so that parent wont warm it

@@fahoodie1852 I sometimes hear them during the summer where I live, but they are becoming rarer and rarer due to climate change (as climatic changes causes their hosts to change their breeding patterns to different times of year) and habitat destruction
We don't need Cuckoos. That's why there are other predators including humans to keep birds population down. Cuckoo can go Dodo.
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 ?
And after??????
Gosh i hate cukoo bird. Their meat taste good tho :) in my country people hunt them to eat
シジュウカラの雛は巣立ちできてもカッコウは穴から出れないから
放置されて餓死だな。
