It's spelled Cuckoo and they are sneaky- they lay their eggs in the nests of unsuspecting victims such as reed warblers.
It is the cuckoo (Latin name: Cuculus canorus).
Female cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, which then raise the cuckoo chick as their own.
Common cuckoos do not build their own nests or incubate their eggs. Instead, they lay their eggs in the nests of other bird species and rely on the host bird to incubate the eggs and raise the cuckoo chick.
Sure. The male of any species doesn't lay eggs. but girls???
In North America, cowbirds do this. In Europe, it is a type of Cuckoo that does this.
A cuckoo doesn't make a nest of it's own. Instead it lays an egg in another birds nest. The cuckoo relies on the other (smaller) birds to raise it's young for it. Cuckoo birds lay their eggs in clocks. I thought everyone knew that. It is the Brown-headed Cowbird that lays their eggs in other birds' nests.
The clue is in the name cuckoo. And, as with the cuckoo bird, the cuckoo bee queen will invade a bees nest, kill the resident queen, and lay her eggs for the resident workers to look after them. So they don't have to make beeswax or honey themselves.
