>you're gonna feed my brood or I'll destroy your nest>but then cuckoolet kills all noncuckoolets anywaySo why do noncuckoos tolerate this shit?
Apparently birds did not evolve to deal with such behaviorBut I'm really interested in how cuckoos evolved to do this
>Cuckoos are a family of birds (Cuculidae) that evolved around 60 million years ago, with some species developing brood parasitism as a key adaptation. This strategy, where they lay eggs in other birds' nests and let the hosts raise their young, likely arose from occasional egg-laying in foreign nests. >>5100560
>>5100555The goyim birds don't understand this game
>>5100555>So why do noncuckoos tolerate this shit?There's multiple cuckoo species and the one known for retaliation behavior has hatchlings that DON'T kick out the host's eggs, so the parents actually have a reason to not reject the cuckoo in order to save their nest/babies
ah, one of my most favorite topics to sperg about. let me introduce you to egg mimicry aka when a bird notices the.eggs arent his, they abbandon nest. so the.cuckoo tries to make the eggs look similar, causing a never ending egg printing battle. some species of cuckoo only lay in select nests you see
thank you and good night
>>5100555>So why do noncuckoos tolerate this shit?because they're brainlets that aren't even on the same level of sentience as the cuckoo. evolution is all about having to expend the lowest amount of energy for the greatest gain. the cuckoo figured out how to do with this flying colors.
