Lethally dangerous species of bird"

July 28, 2023 - Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) Requested by: datruechelsea Breeding in much of Eurasia, these cuckoos winter in parts of central and Southern Africa and some areas of South and Southeast Asia. They feed on insects, especially caterpillars, as well as spiders, snails, the eggs and nestlings of small birds, and occasionally fruit. Females lay their eggs in the nests of a variety of other bird species and chicks evict the host birds’ eggs and chicks. The chicks also expel a foul-smelling liquid that helps repel predatory mammals.
