    If you think about it, cuckoos are like the changelings of myth, but for birds. Imagine how scary it would be for a family member to be replaced by *something* else, with no one but you noticing, and then *it* starts planing your demise to make sure the secret dies with you.

      Especially since that's exactly how cuckoos work in real life. The cuckoo hatchling will chirp in exactly the right way to trick the parent into essentially thinking that it has four hatchlings to feed, making sure that it has enough food to grow to the appropriate size for a cuckoo.

    accurate, because often cuckoos grow such large that they almost topple the nest over, yet the host parents don't realise all just because the inside of the mouth of the cuckoo stays reddish in colour for long.
