Why do the warbler and cuckoo live together?
The warbler and cuckoo live together because the cuckoo bird lays its eggs in the warblers nest. The cuckoo's eggs look so much alike; when the warbler comes back to its nest it thinks its eggs are the cuckoos, so it leaves them alone. Then when the cuckoo's eggs hatch, it pushes the warbler's eggs out of the nest. Then the mother warbler comes; only the cuckoo chick is there. The warbler then takes care of the cuckoo chick.
The relationship between a cuckoo bird and warbler?
