A parasitic relationship. The Cuckoo lays its egg in a warblers (E.g. Reed warbler) nest and the cuckoo hatch-ling expels the eggs of the warbler. Therefore one species (the Cuckoo) benefits and the other one is at a disadvantage (the warbler). So the symbiotic relationship is parasitic.

The cuckoo and reed warbler are birds that have a symbiotic relationship. Cuckoo birds will deposit their eggs in a nest already established by the reed warbler. When a cuckoo egg hatches in the warbler nest, the cuckoo chick will push out the warbler chicks. The warbler parent birds feeds and raises this cuckoo chick. Through this type of relationship, parent cuckoo birds do not have to take care of their eggs or hatched chicks. This practice also increases the cuckoo bird's survival advantage.

Symbiotic relationship between cuckoo and warbler?

When a reed warbler makes its nest and lays its eggs, a cuckoo later comes to lay HER eggs in the warbler's nest while the parent warbler is away. The cuckoo does this so that the warbler can take care of the her chick instead. The warbler takes absolutely no notice of what's happened and takes care of her eggs. When the cuckoo chick has hatched, it usually pushes away the rest of the chicks and eggs out of the nest so that it has a survival advantage. So the parent warbler usually ends up losing all of her eggs and raising one cuckoo chick even after the chick has grown 3 times as big as the warbler.


What does the warbler do to the cuckoo?

Some warbler species know that a Cuckoo means danger to their nest and their future chicks, so the parent Warblers will mob the female cuckoo intruder in the hope that the female cuckoo will move on. However, this defence strategy has a limited success rate and most of the time the female Cuckoo will patiently wait and at the right time, will lay her single egg in the warblers nest and from this point on the female cuckoo has no further involvement in the development of her egg and future chick. The warbler is usually incapable of identifying and removing the cuckoos egg as sometimes the cuckoos egg matches the colouration and pattern of the host warblers eggs. The only major difference between the eggs will be that the cuckoo's egg is bigger. Once the Cuckoos egg has hatched, the Cuckoo chick expels all the other warbler eggs in the nest and will be fed by the warbler as if it was their own. This feeding will continue to happen even when the Cuckoo chick is double the size of the warbler. This is due to the Warblers strong parental instincts.

Relationship between buffalo and cowbird?

Feeding together would probablybe a better description of their association. While cattle (or other large, grazing animals) are grazing, insects and other preys are disturbed, making it easier for the cattle egret to catch them. Cattle egrets are feeding on grasshoppers, crickets, flies, moths, spiders, frogs, earthworms. More info on cattle egret could be found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_Egret
