I think I like Cuckoo "ducks" a whole lot better than the Cuckoo "bird"...poor thing has to survive on its own from birth, without knowing its real parents..

The cuckoo is a true parasitic egglayer. Although it's only following nature's plan, I find them loathsome. The cuckoo duck, on the other hand, is just using the gull as a warm incubator. Pretty small revenge for all the ducklings and goslings that gulls kill, then eat!!

Every coco bird is guilty of murder before it leaves the nest.

Too funny. it really reminded me of another troll. She's exactly like cuckoo user bird, but she's not as smart. she just uses. And abuses other children. a real pedo.

i wouldn't compare that pathetic mskookooturd with this noble bird. unlike that shit-for-brains, the cuckoo has realized through its sheer brilliance that it doesn't need to waste energy when it can use somebody else! i'm trying to be more like that bird. giggles.
