Cuckoos don’t bother building their own nests—they just lay eggs that perfectly imitate those of other birds
and take over their nests. But other birds are wishing up, evolving some seriously impressive tricks to spot the
cuckoo eggs.
Cuckoos are often know asparasites, meaning that they hide their eggs in the nest of other species. To avoid
detection, the cuckoos have evolved so that eggs seem reproduction of those of their preferred targets. If the host
bird doesn’t notice the strange egg in its nest, the little cuckoo will actually take the entire nest for itself after it
comes out, taking the other eggs on its back and dropping them out of the nest.
To avoid this unpleasant fate for their young, the other birds have evolved a few smart ways to spot the fakes,
which we’re only now beginning to fully understand. One of the most amazing finds is that birds have an extra
colour-sensitive cell in their eyes, which makes them far more sensitive to ultraviolet wavelengths and allows
them to see a far greater range of colours than humans can. This allows cautious birds to detect a fake egg which
might be exactly the same to our eyes. Fascinatingly, we’re actually able to observe different bird species at very different points in their
evolutionary war with the cuckoos. For instance, some cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of the redstarts. The
blue eggs these cuckoos lay are practically alike to those of the redstarts, and yet they are still sometimes rejected.
Compare that with cuckoos who target dunnocks. While those birds lay perfectly blue eggs, their cuckoo invaders
just lay white eggs with brown irregular shaped spots. And yet dunnocks barely ever seem to notice the obvious
trick.
Biologists suspect these more easily fooled species like the dunnocks are on the same evolutionary path as
the redstarts, but they have a long way to go until they evolve the same levels of suspicion. What’s remarkable is
that the dunnocks fakes are so bad and the redstart ones so good, and yet cuckoos are still more successful with
the former than the latter.
