It was so awesome seeing the mother take care of here own chicks first. She seems to know something is off with that nestling and is confused. I hate these cuckoos. The kill the others nestlings usually by shoving them out, then exhaust the parents with ridiculous round the clock feedings. It's called parasitic and rightfully so.
I love it. Not only do the parents clearly know the Cuckoo is not their own, when they do accidentally feed it, they'll yeet the food right back out of it's mouth to feed a hungry chick of it's own! I really dislike parasite birds and so am happy to see this. I guess the cuckoo Mom chose it's target nest poorly and the other chicks had already hatched and were too big for the newborn cuckoo chick to toss from the nest like they usually do. Just glad the parents were able to tell the difference and not let their own chicks starve at the expense of the louder, shriller cuckoo chick as far too often happens.
Not all species of Cuckoo push babies out of the nest (these species also have chances of the other offspring surviving but can starve some out later).
@@iceswallow7717 While they do develop quickly, If it was older then them it would be much bigger. + it would have tossed the other eggs out if it was born first. That's the Cuckoo first strike protocol. It's baked into their genes.
The cuckoo was feed early on. As it got bigger and its appearance was more defined, or the sounds it made were different I wonder if the parents perceived that the chick was sick. Many species of animal will not feed the young that are sick and diseased, making it more likely the stronger siblings will survive.
Maybe actually. One of the trick of the cuckoo is to seem in distress. It does this by begging harder and shaking violently. It also does a one wing twitch, a common distress signal to get the parents to focus harder on feeding. Normally if they're the only hatchling, the parents will throw everything because of the signaling, but with more than one, I think you might be right. He's ignored, because a distressed hatchling has less of a chance.
@@darketernal3I like how the parent just takes it out of his mouth and eats it. Like a beggar getting food, begging for more, then the food is just ripped out of his mouth and eaten by some random guy
Exactly, cuckoo doesn’t only kill the bio kids for food, but to avoid being caught by the mother. The mother sees a difference in the signals, vocals and overall behavior of this particular chick which she wouldn’t be able to notice it had the cuckoo succeeded in the elimination of the bio chicks. The signals of her actual chicks are more natural to her.
The nest is REALLY deep. It doesn’t seem that way at first glance, but then remember how big cuckoos get! The walls were simply too steep to get them all over the lip! He tried and tried, and may have managed one or so, but ultimately just couldn’t get them over. As he’s grown, the smaller siblings have had to stay on his back most of the time, but this allows them to compete more evenly. Very fortunate for them!
Depends on the cuckoo breed, some not only dont push other eggs/chicks out but even make the whole litter more viable as the incensant begging for food from the cuckoo chick makes the parents overwork themselves and they end up feeding all chicks more as result. I believe the one on this video is one of those.
There mote of an invasive parasitic species so they aren't really sharing the nest rhey are just leaving it to die cuz they know it's not their chick plus the cuckoo has a different sound to their babies
One theory is that they can’t stand the sensation of another egg or naked baby’s skin on their own naked skin, this triggers them to struggle to remove the irritation, but once their feathers come in enough, they can’t feel their skin and give up trying since they are no longer irritating.
These parents straight took the food out the imposters mouth! Nature even has balance sometimes the parasite wins in this case the parents figured out the scammer and don’t feed it properly!
In watching the great number of video's of nest invasion by cuckoo, I believe the major cause of these parasites getting "busted" by the parents involves 2 mistakes made by cuckoos : 1) the cuckoo egg gets dropped a bit too late for cuckoo too get size advantage enough over native chicks (3 days might be enough) AND 2) once native chicks get a chance to begin feeding the cuckoo chick's attention grabbing behavior leads to it constantly shaking, calling with open mouth........full of food. The cuckoo does this repeatedly and Mama and Papa catch on. When Papa begins to reach in and take food back, you know the cuckoo's cover has been blown, I noted this aspect in a good portion of all vids. In addition, the cuckoo's rate of maturation appears to be significantly faster than native's, the cuckoo is fully sighted and has completed budding of juvenile feathering, the natives eyes remain completely unopened the entire time and native chick's skin completely devoid of initial feathering. I also love it when the Papa and finally the Mama both catch on and the parasite goes unfed with food in its mouth............too busy being center of attention to remember to swallow. That little cuckoo ends up cookin' his own goose!
the channel op maintains these nests. you can see how he even barricades some of them so that the cuckoo cannot jettison the native eggs/chicks, and he even shows vids of himself replacing chicks that the cuckoo has ejected. I agree with you that in this one, the mother isn't "smart." it's just that the cuckoo isn't closing its beak and swallowing. but this channel is artificially manufacturing this drama. iunno. it is what it is. but if the cuckoo feels "broken" to us, then how do we feel about being manipulated by the channel? ah the meta of it all! 😄
@@daneg I would not be surprised they did something to keep the parasite from swallowing, the host keeps trying to get it to eat but after about three tries decides to give it to a chick that can swallow.
Wow so the more I see of these videos apparently the birds are getting wiser and wiser to the cuckoo. Maybe it will change its ways and not be the parasite in the night lol. Ty for the uploads
It's an evolutionary arms race. They're basically even right now, with the cuckoo being successful a bit more than it's unsuccessful. Just enough to propagate. And if it ever lags behind as the other birds evolve ways to defend against it, the cuckoo that don't adapt won't breed, while the ones with new adaptations, even slighter better, will continue the cycle. In effect, it'll never go away.
I wonder if color affects who they feed? They feed the yellow beaks, and pretty much ignore the orange/reddish one. They feed it occasionally but they keep taking it out because it constantly keeps asking to be fed. I wonder if the parents decides that it's annoying or if they know it's not their offspring? It is interesting to watch as I thought this cuckoo would push out the other chicks like we see in other nests.
This nest appears to have been built unusually deep to accommodate special peculiar conditions in this little alcove. I think the rim was just too high to get them over the lip, so has been forced to share.
Ok this is really interesting. The cuckoo already has its eyes open and more feathers then the other chicks, meaning it hatched before them. But instead of throwing the other eggs (or later chicks) out, it left em life, even though it getting fed last by the parents.
imagine being given food and you're still crying. This also happens in humans; A couple takes in orphans and then later on the orphans demand more from the parents compared to the actual kids. mm
3:20 she has fed the cuckoo like three times and it just keeps screaming, so she keeps grabbing the food and being like 'HERE JFC' before giving it to her real chicks.
Not all species of cuckoos parasitize other birds, and among those that routinely rely on other birds to hatch their eggs and raise their young, the baby cuckoo may not necessarily evict foster eggs and nestlings. I don't know what species of cuckoo is shown in this video. Approximately 60% of all cuckoo species usually hatch their own eggs and raise their own offspring in the manner of most altricial birds. Some of these occasionally parasitize other species or pairs of the same species of cuckoos nesting in the same area, but their nestlings are raised with and don't attempt to evict their foster siblings. This form of parasitism has been observed among North America's Yellow Billed and Black Billed Cuckoos. The European Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) has been the most extensively studied of parasitic cuckoos, and its' relationships with its' hosts have proven to be far more complex than previously believed. Female Common Cuckoos lay eggs mimicking those of the host species that raised them, and seek out and remember the active nests of the same species in their territories. According to long term studies, this egg mimicry drastically reduces removal of cuckoo eggs or nest abandonment in response to the presence of a cuckoo egg by host birds. Female Common Cuckoos are generally more territorial than males, and this limits competition for host nests. Each female Common Cuckoo specializing in the same species of host in an area is part of a clan known as a gente. In response to your question, Common Cuckoo nestlings generally begin evicting host eggs or nestlings between their first few hours post hatching, and their second day of life after hatching, depending on the individual nestling. This eviction behavior usually ceases between 3 to 8 days post hatching age for the Common Cuckoo nestling. Any nestlings or eggs not pushed out by Common Cuckoo nestlings after 8 days post hatching are generally tolerated by the cuckoo. Additionally, Common Cuckoo nestlings as individuals consistently evict eggs and nestlings either when a foster parent is sitting OR away from the nest, and either during the day OR at night, when the foster parent cannot see what is happening. Female cuckoos routinely remove and eat one egg from their host's clutch, and deposit a single egg to replace it. Some nestling cuckoos that are obligate parasites, such as Great Spotted Cuckoos (Clamator glandarius, these are parasites of Pica Magpies and other corvids, recently, they have been expanding their host range to include several species of starlings) don't evict foster eggs or nestlings at all. By increasing foster brood size, they somewhat reduce survivorship among their foster siblings, but don't outgrow their foster siblings or present more attractive begging behavior to their parents like Brown Headed Cowbird (NA birds not related to cuckoos, they also don't evict host eggs or nestlings) nestlings do. If the parent corvids reject the Spotted Cuckoo's egg, she will retaliate by killing their entire brood. Similar behavior has been observed, though less consistently, among female cowbirds. Studies have confirmed that parent birds subjected to this behavior, particularly corvids, learn to tolerate cuckoo and cowbird eggs in their nests as a result. American Robins and Gray Catbirds nevertheless usually remove cowbird eggs laid in their nests (Catbirds eat these rejected eggs), and Yellow Warblers build new nests and lay a new clutch on top of nests parasitized by cowbirds.
My theory is that the sensation of other chicks’ shells or naked skin irritates his own naked skin, so he tries to push away the irritation, but once his own feathers come in, it stops bothering him.
@@eldermillennial8330 This behavior has been studied by scientists for decades. Those species of cuckoos that push out foster eggs or siblings are preprogrammed to push upwards, then sideways, against objects that contact their sides and back. The nestlings of these cuckoos have stronger legs and feet than their foster siblings, and this enables them to push strongly, while grasping the nest. This reduces the chances that the cuckoo nestling will itself fall out of the nest while evicting eggs or other nestlings. Note that not all species of cuckoos push out foster eggs or siblings (the Great Spotted Cuckoo [Clamator glandarius], a parasite of corvids, does not push out eggs or nestlings, but the mother Spotted Cuckoo will kill the brood of foster parents that reject her egg or nestling), and many species of cuckoos, such as Greater Roadrunners, and Guira Cuckoos, are not parasitic, while others, such as Yellow Billed and Black Billed Cuckoos, usually raise their own young. Mother Asian Koels (Eudynamys scolopaceus), large cuckoos which parasitize mostly crows and mynahs, often provide supplementary care for their nestlings, but rely on their foster parents (who will mob or attack the Koel if they see her near their nest) to brood and to provide most of the food for her offspring. Eviction behavior by cuckoo chicks starts when the cuckoo is 1 to 3 days old, and persists for 3 days to a week after it starts. During this period, the baby cuckoo will persistently push against not only eggs and nestlings that touch it, but also its' own foster parents as they are brooding on the nest. Cuckoo nestlings in this eviction phase don't push 24 hours a day; some do this only at night, while others do this only during the day.
No, people hate cuckoo babies because they selfishly push out the legitimate eggs/babies. If the cuckoo babies just casually blend in with the other babies people wouldn't hate them so much.
Instead of 3 round trips for 3 bugs, Mom could saved a lot of time and effort: 1) Feed bug1 to chick1. In response, Chick1 produces poop1. 2) Instead of swallowing poop1 (yuck) then flying a round trip for bug2, mom could have simply fed poop1 to chick2 3) An additional round trip to obtain bug3 becomes unnecessary if mom simply feeds poop2 to chick3. Yeah, id make a terrible parent. 😮 j/k 😂
So... if the cuckoo baby is NOT murderous enough to yeet the others out of the nest... he gets no food. Hmm, getting a tiny winy bit of sympathy for cuckoos now
I'm sure these parent birds are much smarter than people think. They do know that the cuckoo will take revenge if the intruder cuckoo chick is evicted from the nest. They take the most sensible approach that is to save their chicks by trying to delay the starvation of the evil cuckoo chick long enough so that their chicks are big enough and get the biggest chance given the circumstances. They still risk the cuckoo chick trying to push the other fledglings out of the nest but if they remove the cuckoo then the parent cuckoo who does not raise but still keep a watch on the nest will remove the life of their chicks (fothermuck at yahoo don't allow to use the verb with k, in what kind of totalitarian woke society we live in ?). So in fact i believe these birds know full well this is an impostor with a blackmailing protection from its parents. And the evil little thing knows too instinctively that it is an nuisance and when he jabs the parent he is reminding them of the threat of his parents on the chicks.
It is a parasitic chick but not a cuckoo chick. Don't remember their names but they are closely related, so about the same size. Cuckoo chicks and adults are giants compared to these birds.

Notice how the parasite cuckoo is the only one that’s constantly begging for food, even after being fed something.
Never satisfied, never full. The cuckoo can do nothing but beg

During this period, the baby cuckoo will persistently push against not only eggs and nestlings that touch it, but also its' own foster parents as they are brooding on the nest. Cuckoo nestlings in this eviction phase don't push 24 hours a day; some do this only at night, while others do this only during the day.
Or maybe The other chicks have outgrown the parasite chick
Im sad to see this cuckoo got fed
これはオオルリの巣だね。青いほうが父親でグレーの地味な色のほうが母親。カッコウの雛があまり大きくないのは孵化の時期が遅かったのか、オオルリの雛がもともと大きいからなのか、どっちだろうか。
でもカッコウの雛は巣立つころには相当大きくなるからこの後どうなったのか興味深い。
オオルリもコチャバラオオルリじゃない、カオグロイソヒヨドリ(Monticola rufiventris)です。
Who wanted to swat the buzzing sound on your ears when you heard it?
吃飽了才變惡魔
How can they eat and poop almost immediately?
Наверно человек помог сохранить родных птенцов.
What's the bird's name?
Parasite
When mom is intelligent
No way a parasite feeds Others 🤯
So cute
Oh my goodness, I only just got while watching this why Blofield kept stating to James Bond ‘Cuckoo’.
qué hermoso es ver como la mamá le saca la comida a ese maldito animal de cuco y se le da a los verdaderos hijos
Kinda shitty that everyone hates the cuckoo baby, as if it had a choice to be there.
Yeah honestly but it’s gonna grow up and do the evil cycle
No, people hate cuckoo babies because they selfishly push out the legitimate eggs/babies. If the cuckoo babies just casually blend in with the other babies people wouldn't hate them so much.
Survival is a cruel game
Most people dislike parasites.
A baby get an adult and continues that
at least the cuckoo survives and grow up
Cuckoo is also getting it's share though she may want more
自分の子がした
フンでもカッコウの口に
押し込んどけ〜😑🗯️
Какая молодец мама, кормит только родных птенцов
Oesmo ninho wuando sinda eram pequeninos😊
It still got fed at the end
I can definitely see the difference in development there...
嘴裏已經吃一隻了還沒下嚥，又繼續討食，貪得無厭結果就是被收回
寄生虫は世界共通で嫌がられてるのが分かるな
he doesn't even go here
It's nice when the chicks are as big as the cuckoo
Update please
i'm surprised that cuckoo chick didnt try to push off the other chicks in the nest?
Good mom bird taking food out of parasite bird and feed to real chicks.
Instead of 3 round trips for 3 bugs, Mom could saved a lot of time and effort:
1) Feed bug1 to chick1. In response, Chick1 produces poop1.
2) Instead of swallowing poop1 (yuck) then flying a round trip for bug2, mom could have simply fed poop1 to chick2
3) An additional round trip to obtain bug3 becomes unnecessary if mom simply feeds poop2 to chick3.
Yeah, id make a terrible parent. 😮
j/k 😂
カッコウが一番下にいるせいか、あまり餌をもらえてない。排除に失敗してお先真っ暗。何とか育ってくれて美しい鳴き声を聞かせて欲しいのだけど。
为什么日本人评论这个视频？
為啥鳥媽媽不直接餵杜鵑幼鳥吃幼鳥屎
Why can't cuckoos learn to care for their own
So... if the cuckoo baby is NOT murderous enough to yeet the others out of the nest... he gets no food. Hmm, getting a tiny winy bit of sympathy for cuckoos now
I wish that bird would pick up the parasite, and fly up above bridge altitude and drop it onto a busy road hitting the pavement at terminal velocity
How cuckoo didn’t push others outside 😮
Probably cause the original chicks were either hatched before the cuckoo or at the same time. The Cuckoo’s mother chose the wrong nest
I'm sure these parent birds are much smarter than people think. They do know that the cuckoo will take revenge if the intruder cuckoo chick is evicted from the nest. They take the most sensible approach that is to save their chicks by trying to delay the starvation of the evil cuckoo chick long enough so that their chicks are big enough and get the biggest chance given the circumstances. They still risk the cuckoo chick trying to push the other fledglings out of the nest but if they remove the cuckoo then the parent cuckoo who does not raise but still keep a watch on the nest will remove the life of their chicks (fothermuck at yahoo don't allow to use the verb with k, in what kind of totalitarian woke society we live in ?).
So in fact i believe these birds know full well this is an impostor with a blackmailing protection from its parents. And the evil little thing knows too instinctively that it is an nuisance and when he jabs the parent he is reminding them of the threat of his parents on the chicks.
burung spa ni bos
What are those white balls they pass out?
Fecal matter
Poo
nice
Its like the evil child
これは一応成功かな？
鳥って仮に種がカッコウみたいに違うやつでも我が子と受け入れる習性あるから
つか本来ならカッコウ生まれた頃に他の雛ら追い出して自分だけになる手癖悪い事するし
投稿者が他の雛ちゃんと戻したからやろね
that bird have to survive somehow,they are not humans so there is no some morale drama here,survive the fittest as always
Like
It is a parasitic chick but not a cuckoo chick. Don't remember their names but they are closely related, so about the same size. Cuckoo chicks and adults are giants compared to these birds.
Feed it with others poo
LOL
这种杜鹃鸟慈悲，心里有善种子
No..
Just like Chinese who kills their own with compassion for the Government.
El cuco terminara matando de hambre a los otros ...porque será el doble o triple que los otros dos...no cabran todos el el nido..o el comerá todo porque su pico es más llamativo
