The common koel is a member of the cuckoo family: thus, the way they raise their chicks is the same. These birds are known as 'brood parasites'. This means that they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, leaving the other birds to raise the chicks once they hatch.
Some cuckoos do not raise their young, they leave their eggs in the in the nest of other birds so they raise them, these types are known as parasitic cuckoos. However those that raise their own chicks hold food in their beaks and push it down the chicks throat into the stomach.
The Cuckoo is notorious for laying an egg in another bird's nest, leaving the host bird to raise the cuckoo chick. Once the cuckoo chick hatches, it instinctively pushes any unhatched eggs and chicks out of the nest, leaving the cuckoo chick the sole occupant.
The cuckoo is the bird which never builds nest. Cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of other birds and leave the "adopted parents" to raise the cuckoos own chicks.

A young cuckoo is called a "cuckoo chick." Cuckoos are known for laying their eggs in the nests of other bird species and letting those birds raise their young.
put them in your hand and lift them up
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.
start by checking out the different chick hatcheries on the internet, order chicks for what you want to do, raise chicks for meat, eggs, or showbirds.

Birds raise their broods in the spring and summer months, when food is most abundant.
