Brood parasitism... Mother's absolute love ❤️💚 In frame: Large grey babbler & common cuckoo chick The common cuckoo is one example of a brood parasite. Such animals trick other animals into raising their young. They sneak their eggs into other parents’ nests. A grey babbler parent feeds a bug to a cuckoo chick. The babbler keeps taking care of the cuckoo even after the cuckoo grows much bigger than its foster parent. Happy Mother's day 💐 #mothersday #birdsofmaharashtra #birdsofindia #birdphoto

Brood parasitism: The most well-known cuckoos are brood parasites, meaning they lay their eggs in the nests of other bird species. The cuckoo chick kicks the host's eggs or chicks out of the nest. #america #are #you? #nyc | Joli Mayra

"Chick culling" refers to the practice of killing all male chicks and those deemed "unsuitable" shortly after hatching. They're typically ground up alive, gassed, or suffocated. This is standard in all modern egg production in the United States. Have a compassionate Easter by leaving eggs out of your celebration. https://mercyforanimals.org/chickculling | Mercy For Animals
