Oh OK, I always give out about them when I hear them saying they've probably kicked out and killed loads of baby birds to steal their nest and their parents There seems to be plenty around Kerry direction anyway

No Neem what happens is they lay and egg in a nest and let the other bird hatch the egg, when the cuckoo hatches it chucks any other little ones out of the nest, nature at its finest
