This film tells the story about nature in the Barycz River valley and enormous Milicz ponds. This area is located in the south-western part of Poland (in the middle of Europe). I and my wife made it for 2 years.
Sir David Attenborough, a world-famous BBC nature documentary film maker, after watching the film "Rhythms of Nature in the Barycz Valley" wrote:
"I have viewed Rhythms of Nature with great pleasure.
A lovely place, beautifully filmed"

Kinda amazing how they have evolved to become the ultimate parasite. Like, how the newborn chick knows instinctively that it has to remove its competition (by either pushing the eggs, or by pushing out the newly hatched chicks), and where it has evolved to know how to entice the parental birds to feed it in a much quicker frenzy than what they would naturally do with their own young

@bradleyvrooman1801 3 года назад

They've been doing it for thousands of generations probably. Looks like a newborn reflex. The cuckoo feels something warm touching it so it gets rid of that without any thinking involved. Genetic memories are crazy complicated.

I find it fascinating. These animals are in an arms race of sorts, with birds like the Reed warbler getting better at stopping cuckoo birds from laying eggs in their nests and better at detecting eggs that they didn't lay, while cuckoo birds sometimes work with the male mimicking a hawk to distract so the female can lay eggs, as well as them evolving to make their eggs more similar to the species they were raised by so as to avoid detection by the host.

@lizzygizzy2565 2 года назад

If I understand correctly, cuckoo hatchlings do that because they have very sensible nerves on their back, when eggs push agains"t them it feels very uncomfortable so they try to push it away from them. They is so young they can't actually think about pushing those eggs to have less competiton. So yeah, they aren't evil. they have no idea of what they are doing.

Coolest feature is that the egg is virtually indistinguishable from the host eggs, and the cuckoo does this with the varying species of birds, each egg a copy of the host egg.

I wouldn't attribute the cuckoos behavior to genetic memory. I beg to differ with some of u, the cuckoos' large size must make it feel uncomfortable inside such a small nest. The cuckoo simply tries to create more breathing space by pushing out the others.

@jayak8217 2 года назад

I wish a cuckoo would lay an egg near me. I would let it hatch and then toss it on the ground to starve alone while its mother watches. Apparently the mother cuckoo sticks around to make sure the host doesn't reject the egg. It will destroy the entire nest if it comes back and it's egg is gone. The host bird might also abandon the nest if it comes back to fewer eggs so maybe letting it hatch and pretending it fell might save the host bird some trouble.

Not true. There are at least 150 cuckoo species, 56 of which are known brood parasites. So, while the majority of cuckoo species do rear their own young, at least a third do not. Many more than just the common cuckoo.
