The cuckoo parents will lay an egg in the Greygone nest and unknowingly, the sogorate parents will tend for the juv Cuckoo.

The cuckoos lay their eggs in other birds' nests so that these other parents would take care and feed the cuckoo's young. The adopted parents' original eggs may even be pushed out by the cuckoo. These unknowing parents would merrily keep on feeding their adopted child, even when the kid is bigger than themselves, as seen in this instance.

Nice pics. Interesting facts. So much for calling "slow" people CUCKOO. So now I guess we all know what those (so-called) CUCKOOs that lives amongst us really does huh??

Next time you wanna label someone a CUCKOO, think twice..
