Cow Birds, Blue Jays, Scrub Jays and Steller's Jays are infamous for this behavior. Birds of many species will steal nests, nesting material, nesting hollows, food, and "partners", of their own and other species (not usually the partners of other species but hybrids do occur). They will also steal or merely destroy the bowers (constructions built by a male bower bird to to advertise his fitness to females) of competing males.
It's a cost benefit ratio. If the species has a breeding system in which there is a net gain in reproductive fitness for some individuals if they steal the nest of another individual, then some individuals of that species are likely to do so.

The largest bird is the ostrich, whose eggs weigh more than three pounds. However, in proportion to its size, the kiwi bird lays the biggest eggs for its body size. The kiwi is about the size of a chicken and its egg is almost as big as the egg of an emu, a much larger bird than the kiwi.
The bee humming bird lays the smallest egg at half a gram, and the ostrich lays the biggest at 3.3lbs. The animal that lays the smallest eggs are insects but when referring to vertebrates the animal that lays the smallest egg is the hummingbird.
It's not symbiotic, it's parasitic. The cowbird lays it's eggs in the nest of other birds expecting them to hatch and feed it. In some cases when the host bird rejects the egg the cowbird has been known to return to the nest and ransack it in what scientists call Mafia behavior.

The Cuckoo bird -- well, actually the cuckoo doesn't "steal" the nest, the female just lays her egg there and let's the original nest owners raise HER young. The Black-headed Grosbeak -- is known to steal parts & pieces of another bird's nest to construct her own. But Sparrows steal nests from Martins, sometimes forcing Martin eggs or even young ones out, letting them fall to the ground. Starlings, in turn, steal nests from Sparrows. The Brown-headed Cowbird also lays its eggs in another's nest and leaves others to raise its young. A mourning dove has been observed taking over a newly built Robins nest.

The Ostrich lays the heaviest egg. One ostrich egg can weigh up to 7 pounds.
