- The Common Cuckoo is an obligate brood parasite that lays its eggs in the nests of over 100 host species, with females in a given genetic lineage ("gens") mimicking that host's egg coloration; the newly hatched chick instinctively evicts the host's own eggs or chicks by pushing them out of the nest on its back.
