The Deceptive Cuckoo Bird

The video explores the cunning behaviors of birds, particularly cuckoos, which use mimicry to deceive host birds into raising their young. Cuckoos lay eggs in other birds' nests, using sound mimicry to distract host parents. This behavior is an example of mimesis, where animals mimic others for survival. The video also discusses how some host species have adapted to counter cuckoo strategies. Additionally, it highlights similar mimicry in moths, where males imitate predator sounds to mate with females.
