QUICK FACTS
The cuckoo is a brood parasite, laying its eggs in the nest of other species and will provide no parental care of its young.
Cuckoo eggs mimic those of their most common hosts. If the hosts notice the extra egg they will abandon the nest.
The newly hatched cuckoo chick immediately ejects other eggs and chicks from the nest of its host.
A cuckoo chick will often grow to be much larger than its unsuspecting foster parent.
Cuckoos feed mainly on insects, spiders and worms
