Video evidence that cuckoos farm their hosts by ejecting nestlings
Ecology and EvolutionWhen host nests are scarce, avian brood parasites would benefit from behaviours that increase the availability of suitable nests. Several studies reported ejection of host nestlings from nests by brood parasites; however, whether brood parasites do so to
