Cuckoo - Spectacular Insight into the Life of a Con Artist

Some cuckoo chicks even go as far as to kill the other chicks in the nest. In most cases, however, they just smuggle their eggs into the nests of other birds, some of which are intelligent enough to spot this easily. Still, they don’t throw the egg out. Until recently, the ornithologists’ theory was: the “victims” have yet to learn to counteract. Turns out: they may even profit from having strangers’ chicks in their nest! So is cuckoo’s behavior a phenomenal trick or an evolutionary riddle?

Pretty cool how the second she saw that cuckoo she went right back to the nest and examined again thoroughly and FOUND IT!! Good job mama bird 🐦

I need that bird who identifies cuckoo egg. 😂 that bird deserves a medal 😂

Wow! The wild bird cooperating with the man is absolutely amazing. Its one thing when a bird is a pet and tamed, but a wild bird having that relationship with a human is amazing. Win win for eveyone lol
-
The fact that they are chill with crows is amazing
-
Marsh warbler is my hero!! Courageous enough to fight off a bird twice its size and smart enough to detect a cuckoo egg in its nest

Out of hundreds of high-quality nature documentaries I've watched over more than a half-century, I must say that this may be the single best one. Utterly extraordinary. I'm not easily shocked, but some of the bird behavior here was disturbing to watch, while other behaviors shown were mysterious -- clearly there's still a lot to be studied and learned about these amazing and complex creatures, and about natural selection and conservation of species.

The painstakingly filmed documentary is truly impressive.

Fantastic little documentary. Nature never ceases to amaze. Neither does the stellar work of the nature photographers who get such phenomenal shots of obscure places. Well done!

It's interesting to see the cuckoo's behavior the moment it puts its egg into the nest. Gets the job done real fast and gets out of there. I always wanted to know how they did it but couldn't find any other videos on it. Good job capturing all this

The cuckoo is so interesting. Someone mentioned to me today that they heard a cuckoo. I started thinking about the bird and what I learned about it in school. Great documentary.
