Another image from the series made last year!
The chance to witness this unique moment of feeding the Jurenile Common Cuckoo by a couple of Dunnocks !
The gray cuckoo is a strictly insectivorous bird, which feeds mainly on earthworms and caterpillars.
The gray cuckoo being a migratory bird, in winter it leaves towards the south of Africa or South-East Asia.
The female cuckoo spots a nest in which eggs have already been laid and will swallow one to replace it with her egg. Thus, the deceived mother will brood in place of the cuckoo female! When it is born, the young cuckoo will instinctively throw the other eggs out of the nest! This way, the young cuckoo will have all the food it needs to grow!
La chance d"assister à ce moment unique de nourrissage du Coucou gris jurénile par un couple d 'Accenteurs !
Le coucou gris est un oiseau strictement insectivore, qui se nourrit principalement de vers de terre, lombrics et de chenilles.
Le coucou gris étant un oiseau migrateur, en hiver il part vers le sud de l’Afrique ou en Asie du sud-est.
La femelle coucou repère un nid dans lequel des oeufs ont déjà été pondus et va en gober un pour le remplacer par le sien.Ainsi le mère abusée va couver à la place de la femelle coucou !A sa naissance ,d'instinct le jeune coucou va jeter les autres oeufs hors du nid !Ainsi le jeune coucou aura toute la nourriture nécessaire pour grandir !
