Homonym: cuckoo bird (Insanity)
The cuckoo bird is a member of the family Cuculidae, known for its distinctive call and unique breeding behavior. There are over 140 species of cuckoos, found in various habitats around the world, particularly in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Many cuckoos are recognized for their gray or brown plumage, which helps them blend into their surroundings.
One of the most notable traits of some cuckoo species is their brood parasitism. This means they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, leaving the host to raise their young. The young cuckoo often pushes the host's eggs or chicks out of the nest, ensuring it receives all the care and food from the unsuspecting foster parents.
