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.

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.

Cuckoos will lay their eggs in some smaller species nests, especially the reed warbler. The unsuspecting parent birds will raise the young cuckoo as it's own, at the expense of it's own eggs, which are ejected by the earlier hatching cuckoo nestling.

Does survival of the fittest mean an organism is bigger and stronger or more apt to reproduce?

Technically, the word 'fit', when used in the context of population dynamics and evolution, means 'reproductively successful'. The genes reproductive success may result from physical prowess, intelligence, or simply from a reproductive strategy that favours large numbers of offspring. 'Fitness', in this context, is expressed in terms of the spread of genes throughout the population. Fitter genes spread faster than less fit genes. It could mean either or both of these. It might also refer to the fact that an animal is physically better adapted to survival than another; for example, a bird's beak might be constructed in a way that allows it to eat seeds that other avians cannot. "Fittest" might also mean an organism might use behavior to its advantage to survive. For instance, the European cuckoo lays its eggs in other birds' nest, forcing the "adoptive parents" to care for the large, aggressive cuckoo chick at the expense of the other hatchlings. There are many niches in nature, and the "fittest" animal is the one who develops a way to exploit a particular advantage or weakness.


How many eggs does a maran?

Your question does not make any sense. Marans are a breed of chickens known for laying dark brown eggs. They range from a milk chocolate to a dark chocolate. There are several variations of the Maran, cuckoo, wheaten, black, copper, etc. They differ based on their plumage color and how dark their eggs normally are. Chickens in general lay more eggs during their first year of laying and then decrease over the years. During the height of her production the hen will lay an average of 2 eggs in 3 days.

The relationship between a cuckoo bird and warbler?

The cuckoo is a parasitic bird (with only a few exceptions), meaning it relies on other birds to nurture its chicks. So the relationship between a cuckoo and a warbler is that the cuckoo lays one of its eggs in the warbler's nest and the warbler ends up raising a cuckoo chick.

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


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.
