Experimentally Constrained Virulence is Costly for Common Cuckoo Chicks

Ethology, 2008
AbstractChicks of some avian brood parasites show high virulence by eliminating all host progeny in the nest whereas others develop in the presence of host nestmates. Common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) chicks are typically highly virulent parasites as they attempt to evict all host eggs and chicks soon after hatching.

First Record of the Common Cuckoo from Mainland North America

The Condor, 1980
On 11 June 1979 we collected a hepatic phase Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus canorus) at the mouth of the Tutakoke River, Yukon Delta, Alaska (61?14'N, 165?37'W). The specimen (Univ. of Alaska Museum 3733), an adult female, weighed 85.0 g, had moderate fat, a flattened wing of 216 mm, and ova to 5.0 mm.

Common cuckoo female host selection is not determined by host quality but can affect cuckoo nestling growth when parasitising Common redstarts

ABSTRACTCommon cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) females lay their eggs in the nests of other avian hosts, relying on parental care provided by parasitised hosts. Therefore, it would benefit cuckoo females to target high-quality individual hosts, able to provide optimal parental care.

Red-backed shrike (Lanius collurio) versus common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus): An example of ineffective cuckoo-hawk mimicry

2023
In this work, I tested the reaction of the red-backed shrike (Lanius collurio) against a nest parasite, the common cuckoo (Common cuckoo) (grey form), predator, Eurasian sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus) and harmless intruder, turtle dove (Streptopelia turtur).
