Who Feeds a Cuckoo?

C uckoos are a family of parasitic birds. They do not build nests and lay their eggs in the nest of other birds. The female cuckoo keeps a watch on the nest of other birds while they build it and lay eggs. When the host parents are away, she flies down to the nest and pulls away one of the eggs with her beak. She then quickly lays her egg in its place and flies away. The poor host parents do not notice any change in the nest. After about two weeks, when the eggs hatch, the cuckoo chick pushes out of the nest. The foster parents keep on feeding the cuckoo chick which grows much larger than the foster parents. It stays with them until it is ready to fly .
