The parasitic cuckoo bird can't get food, and gradually becomes irritable寄生的杜鹃鸟损招用尽，却得不到食物，逐渐暴躁

Also the mouth is different. I believe the chicks have patterns based on species

And I noticed it’s beak is orange reddish while the other three true baby’s have yellow beaks also the true baby’s have light cream colored patches on them while the cuckoo has dark grey feathers only

It's actually in their habits. They're trying to fool the parent birds that the noises and movements are coming from more than one bird so that they would focus on feeding in their direction.

Try hard

Cuckoo failed at doing its job and suffers the consequences. The chick is supposed rid the nest of all the other eggs before they hatch. This chick was weak.

Sadly, only this bird.....

I've heard that sometimes they do recognize the parasite for what it is, but sometimes the cuckoo parents will return to check on the nest & wreck it if their offspring isn't still there so sometimes it's worth it for the host parents to just feed the parasite.

She is feeding it the video is edited and it's the instinct to begg for food 24/7 even if it's fed that's how they are built.

Most Birds are too stupid to not fall for the tricks, even when the "Baby Cuckoo" becomes much larger than the Mother Bird it is leeching off of.

😂😂😂😂

I would have loved if she had fed the cuckoo the other chick's poop😂

I was hoping one time when it pecked her she'd boot it out of the nest. Quite disappointed she didnt

Same.

I wanted to rescue the baby cuckoo and feed it myself...then keep him as a pet.

I would love it if she had somehow thrown him out of nest😂

they dont peck because they arent starving 😂 youre so dull

I was also thinking that way .....how can brood peck to it's mother for food.

To be clear, The biological nestlings are actually getting fed and the cuckoo probably hasn't for some time. So it's getting hangry

@@BEATSofDevil I love how angry + hungry = hangry

I find it so satisfying that the mother fed her children and left him starving 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@jaminz8739 same and also being happy about the cuckoo starving I hate them

I wouldn't call it a monster, it's a bird trying to survive. I do find it funny how we say the cuckoo is a 'bad bird' and the others are 'good'

@@troywright359 agreed the “good” birds would happily do the same strategy if it worked better for them it just happens that is doesn’t. I actually quite like cuckoos

How are her own starving? If you had 2 babies yourself and adopted one more. Will that cause your biological children to starve? What is this weird logic you have?

@@Swanicorn she’s feeding only her young, not the intruder bird (mostly)

@@German_Shepherd_Mom I know but what I am saying is, how is the intruder bird's starving and suffering, making your day? Nothing wrong is being done by THIS particular cuckoo. I could understand if this specific "parasite" actually acted like one: kicked the other eggs and chicks off the nest. But has this one done any of that? So why are you rooting for this specific one to suffer for whatever previous experience you have about other cuckoos? From a scientific perspective if "parasite" chicks like this survive, there is a high chance such behaviour will be more common from its future babies, where the intruder doesn't aggressively kick off the real babies etc. That's evolution for the better!

@Absalom Jones If your parents abandoned you as a baby at someone's door and those strangers decided to take care of you, that's adopted. If they put bleach and concentrated sulphuric acid on you and then kick you out of view to get rid of you yeah then I can understand. I mean the owners of the house have the choice! Why should they choose to share their food with you! They will starve surely if they take you in right? And all of that stuff that you are saying, has this particular baby done it? Generalizing? I can attribute all the atrocities done by humans and say the same in general about all humans. It's really bad to have this revenge mentality, I wish you will understand that soon.

@Absalom Jones What are you talking about??? HELLO? Good morning. Wake up brain. I said YOU, as a baby. How would anyone know what all menace you would do as a baby? That's the revenge mentality. How would the house owners know that you are a threat? Not talking about the bird. Hello again wake up if asleep. Talking about you as a baby, abandoned by your mother. You know? In the past mothers actually used to do that. How is anyone supposed to know if you will grow up to become Osama bin Laden or Gandhi? The fact that you know, is the revenge mentality. If you still don't understand: Hey 2 years ago a Phillipino person robbed me and this new employee at the work is Philippino too. Hmm let me make him suffer for the sins of that robber. Yes! I feel so good now! JUSTICE has been served now. (Are you seeing the issue now).

"But I'm orphan" 🥺

@@tclyde865 "Hi orphan, I'm Dad. Now f*ck off."

Well thought out, yes. Good point.

why does'nt she kick it out?

​@@Abdullah-wi1iyBecause cuckoos form mafias, if the egg they lay in a nest is removed, or if their offspring is killed they'll attack the nest of the birds that was supposed to raise their invasive hatchling. Although they don't raise their babies, they keep watch on the nest they put their egg in.

​@@Abdullah-wi1iy it looks a cowbird which will destroy and kill the baby and the parents that doesn't care for the bird

​@@Scp--pg7fg what the fuck is that even supposed to mean ??

Nice explanation. Thanks

You say this brood was messed with by someone adding a cuckoo chick, but i've seen cuckoo with other hatchlings and the cuckoo is always easy to indentify and had a red color inside the beak that other hatchlings do not have. Also if as you say cuckoo would be so efficient at killing the host bird hatchlings they would push their host specie to extinction. So sometimes they loose in their parasiting plot, this video might be such a case. And who says the mother isn't feeding the cuckoo, maybe she makes sure all get fed.

​@@goognamgoognw6637You're right. The mom is feeding them all at least a little bit. Her own babies are likely just getting better treatment.

From what I remember, the cuckoo indeed hatched there before the others, but the way the nest was placed the eggs didn't fall out, and when they did(I don't remember if they did) the mother picked them up, there is no a huge fall to crack them. The author found the nest and installed the camera, they didn't messed the nest. It was only the father who gave the cuckoo food, I think that is why smaller than other cuckoo at that stage

You’re assuming that birds can see colors as well as us?

im going thru birb vids rn. Thought the same lol. 69th updoot for you.

I wonder I survived that situation myself. 😂

I believe they put the cuckoo in after it hatched to document it

@@captaincory9133 Ah yes, that's possible too. Although it beats me as to why the cuckoo chick did not attempt to do away with its foster siblings if that was indeed the case.

@@captaincory9133 oh, that's a bit mean. I hope they saved it from starving...after all it is their fault...and they should mess with nature like that.

@@jase123111 100% argee

I am pretty sure the mother feeds the cockoo chick as well. It would never have grown onto this size otherwise.

... he's adopted.

Don't forget, it's pecking it's foster mother...,the audacity...

To be fair, not all birds species are smart, and in many species of birds, siblings already fight for their parent(s)’ attention

@ee5142 that's true, the mama bird probably isn't thinking about whether or not it's the right bird, she's just thinking one of the kids is squawking.

Normally the cuckoo pushes the other eggs out of the nest before they hatch so is the only chick there. Quite rare to see a cuckoo with the other chicks like that.

agreed my friend

Hahahaha 😂😂

Actually, the parents are not 100% sure. This is why they feed it but give it the lowest priority.

No, the mother knows its not her chickso she doesn't feed it. The father on the other hand can't distinguish it and feeds the cuckoo hatchling.

@@themanwhocantbemovedbyatru1988 Good point (something that I learned from your comment), it is like for humans as well. Only the mother is 100% sure the baby is hers. The father have to trust it is his unless he does a paternity test. Which makes me wonder why isn't a paternity test done mandatory after birth?

Do cuckoo parents monitor the nest for a successful fledge? I thought it was only the cowbird that did such.

Mother cuckoo still around? That one of a hell gangster

Probably hatched late..

Depends on the cocoo species. Cocoos are a very interesting species some do not push out their silblings, some do. Might also be an individual abnormality. Best guess is that the mother does not feel stimulated to feed the strange chick because she has the right stimuli in her nest (her own chicks) and they have a different color inside their mouth. Birds get stimulated by the pattern and colors inside the mouth of their chicks. There are some real wierd chicks with freaky mouth patterns out there.

@@JP-uf9sh Thanks! What about the other video in which the mother Cocco came to the nest and pushed the little chicks ( of the original nest) out? I thought the cocco would leave her eggs once she placed them on the host nest.

It may have tried.but was unsuccessful

Nest is on the ground not on the tree. So it cant do anything

😡.... Cuckoo bird is a part of evolutionary race 🏁 as well you know.. 😑

What an intelligent mother! Sad part it's not the cuckoo baby's fault that it's there in that nest.

@@TinyBewPuppy was there a video?

@@TinyBewPuppy Thank you 👍

@Absalom Jones It is a bird. You speak about it as though it possesses sophisticated consciousness, and that you can put moral constraints on it. It’s not ‘evil’ it does not ‘know’ what it’s doing is ‘wrong’. It is an animal, attempting to survive.

there are other videos where he explains that the dad bird is feeding it, the mom though is wiser and recognized it as a parasite

That's cuz the dad feeds it

@@ebonimom6964 when a girl tricks you into paying child support for a kid that aint yours xD

Coocoos are a big bird. They are vicious even right out of the shell. They kick out all the unhatched eggs and the new borns.

Nevermind..i want see cuckoo not eat..haha

Yes, from its perspective, mom just keeps ignoring it for some reason. It likely doesn't understand what's happening, why is it being mistreated.

There is no blame in this situation. We filter the animal world through our morals sometimes. Manipulation, exploitation, especially it being so targeted, makes people a little bit more angry than usual. That chick, however, is designed to kill the rest of the chicks in the nest. I am secure in saying that that is a particularly evil animal. It's just so intimately cruel. I mean, too bad so sad? As long as both species populations are sustainable then I'll tolerate it.

He knows its not his true mom, it is rooted in instinct otherwise cuckoos wouldn't be able to meet their true kinds to reproduce, who they also never met before.

Its dumb to aply human morality to animals, but its also human nauture to find this animal obnoxious, its like the panda, they did nothing wrong, but you kinda wanna see them go extinct

Unfortunately this is one of those made up videos. Someone put the chick in that nest long after it hatched, so it's not a surprise the mother is ignoring this giant hatchling it's not strong enough to get rid of.

Actually cukoo chicks are twice the size of the hosts birds chicks at birth, but due to instinct the mother can't discern the difference until its birds develop that bright yellow throat and at the point the mother will cease all feedings to the cukoo.

@@user-dg6zm9mw5kany proof at all or just making shit up on the internet?

​​@@OukiLipsmaking shit up on the internet. apparently this was a wild nest this person found and set up a camera to watch. the cuckoo did hatch early and tried to push the eggs out of the next, but couldnt crack them because of the wall in the video and the fact that there was no long fall to damage the eggs, so they remained whole. the cuckoo is also unusually small because its only being fed by its dad, the mother refuses to feed it as shown in this video.

I know right? It’s the only way it knows how to survive

Cuckoo birds don’t care about familial bonds. That’s how they’ve evolved to be parasites in the first place.

Cringe

Exactly, at first I found it funny, then sad. Tragic.

Isnt it also the difference in looks, size, and the cry/noise they make

What the fuck did that little bird do? What is wrong with you? It is an innocent chick who didn't choose to be born like that. The fact you find this "satisfying" will condemn your soul.

Yup, from now on if I ever see a cuckoo invading a nest and kicking smaller chicks out of it, my precision pellet rifle is comin out. and justice will be done upon the perpetrator.

@@mdebarshi a demon baby

Actually it is the mothers fault. But even then it is just their instinct.

I don't think that little shit is getting a taste of anything lmao

Well, it looks well fed to me.

That is not evolution. The theory of evolution is based on the development of new genetics over time.

@@termgrecos3451Hey smartass, did you know that genetics and social behaviors in animals are the same thing?

It's called adaptation not evolution.

Let's say your ancestors killed someone of the lower race 800 years ago. Quite possible! Would someone of that race killing you now be justice then? So fun to watch? Fun cuz it is not you who is suffering?

I know, right? Everyone comments how satisfying the video is and they cheer on it, but it's still a living creature suffering, so it's kind of hard to watch...

Only 9999 IQ people will get this

LOL, great idea! 😂😅

I was thinking that too. As a matter of fact I was thinking why don't birds do that.

Munch munch.......munch... This tastes funny... Can't quiet distinguish the flavor?

In other circumstances, that'd be a bit funny, but in this case the "poo" are actually nutrients the chicks can't digest yet. Why would the mother give valuable nutrients to the cuckoo when she could eat it herself and be able to keep feeding her young?

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Yeah, in the end it's a baby that's gonna suffer thanks to it's real mother's shitty parenting skill

In many instances, the mother cuckoo will be close by and watch the nest. She will retaliate if she sees her baby missing or being mistreated. Even mons that evict cuckoos end up with nothing after mom comes in and destroys everything.

they tend to kill off every other chick in the nest by pushing them out the nest and letting them starve so tbh i dont feel shit for cuckoo chicks

I agree. Cockoos are beautiful birds. I do hope it survived and fledged.

I hope it fell out and wrung it’s neck on the way down 😊

@@xEvan117x the Cuckoo helps the nestlings survive. Unfortunately, sometimes in very small nests, like warblers, there would not be enough room for eveyone, and the cuckoo will push the nestmates out, but here it is doing no harm. Don't interfere with this precious act of nature by wishing harm on a species that evolved to be mostly beneficial to other species as a nest parasite.

@@xEvan117xyou are sickening.

Go all mob boss on the entire nest probably. That's the only reason the mother bird isn't totally getting rid of the parasite.

它们必须改掉这种损人利己的生存方式。

I wish the other birds transfer the parasite to the nest of birds of prey

The thing is that cuckoo is very healthy so clearly it's getting food. Don't forget that the cuckoo often gets quite large compared to the species they parasite on. The "mother" bird never knows the difference and will keep feeding it even if it's 2-3 or bigger in size.

So they push other eggs out of the nest out of the goodness of their heart? You are fucking naive. They are already murderers as babies. This is their genetic code. They may not know why they are not being fed but they will kill everything else just to be fed

@@deathb3rry It's an animal. They don't have our moral code, stop pushing things like "Murder" on animals. They. Are. Not. Humans. Most of the times, they kill to survive. And use a more appropriate language, NOBODY insulted you.

not all the time. it was likely a late hatcher

The beak color stimulates the parents Bird to feed its young. The parasite chick has an orange beak, while the other chicks are yellow.

That's not how it works sadly. The clips where the mother feeds the cuckoo are edited out, that's one healthy cuckoo if I ever saw one. The mistake this cuckoo did was not getting rid of the eggs(ie the competition). That's normally what they do. The mother can't tell the difference, they all smell the same. That's why cuckoos have been so successful. In some cases the cuckoo can become enormous compared to the bird feeding it. I had a book with cuckoos long ago and there was this funny picture of the mother bird sitting on the cuckoo and feeding it. The cuckoo was like 4-5 times the size of the "mother".

Then you interfer with evolution and how species reproduce. Just because humans do not like or understand a natural system isn't a reason to interfere.

@@srisukloon3948 there is no such thing as a "cruel bird." Why are you attempting to assign subjective human value judgements, anthropomorphizing, and describing naturally evolved survival behaviors as "evil?" Why do you, as a mere human, think you have the right to do that?

@@EyeSeeThruYou Because we're the smart guys of nature. The right to do that evolved alongside our "morality" that we, as species, developed.

@@armagedom110games2 no, that's not "smart guys," that's mere speciesiest egotism. A test for "smart guys" is whether a species can adapt to its ecosystem without disturbing and destroying it. Corvids can. Cepholopds can. Cetaceans can. Pachyderms can. All primates can, except one. Psychological evolution lagged behind tool-making ability; the two did not develop in parity. As "morality" is not unique to humans, nor is it universal among humans in its application, it isn't a "measure" conferring any special rights on hominids. Try again. And this time, keep check your hominid ego at the door of historical reality.
