Cuckoos practice brood parasitism by depositing their eggs in the nests of other birds. Their eggs hatch faster, and the young cuckoo instinctively ejects the host's eggs or chicks from the nest to reduce competition. This ensures the cuckoo chick monopolizes the foster parents' care and food. Despite the chick's larger size and demanding behavior, the host birds usually continue feeding it, believing it to be their own. #reels #instagram #bird #nature #birds #birdsofinstagram #wildlife #photogr
