I think the funniest part about cuckoo’s is that they can’t be bothered to parent their offspring but some will still hang around just to make sure the host is taking care of the cuckoo’s chicks.
Like if the host bird notices the cuckoo chick and tries to not feed it the cuckoo will harass the host bird and try to kill the other chicks.
Some birds have developed specialized patterns in their young and specialized movements to prove they are not cuckoos. Cuckoos have developed mimicking patterns and movements as a result.
There is moss everywhere around here (UK), on pavements, paths, lawns.. Never mind in wooded and otherwise rural areas. Honestly it would seem harder to avoid occasionally walking on it..
