This is the world of the , an organism that relies on others to raise its young.

Take the . The mother cowbird monitors the nests of smaller songbirds. Once she slips her egg in, the cowbird chick usually hatches earlier and grows much faster than its nestmates. This "chunky" intruder uses its size to:

The "professional" parasites who target entirely different species. The "Chunky" Invader: Why Size Matters

She waits for the host to leave, flies in, and lays her egg in seconds. Often, she will remove or eat one of the host’s eggs to keep the count consistent.
