Media notes
Young cuckoo nestling evicts a host Common Redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus) chick. Incredibly, hosts ignore their own living evicted chicks, even though those are begging just next to the rim of the nest-cup, and leave thenm to die, see Grim T., Rutila J., Cassey P. & Hauber M. E. 2009: The cost of virulence: an experimental study of egg eviction by brood parasitic chicks. Behavioral Ecology 20(5): 1138–1146. (doi: 10.1093/beheco/arp108). Elevation: 82 m.
