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.
