The bird is a parasite.
Basically, he "throws" his eggs to poor insectivorous birds, who do not even know about it. And then, when the chick hatch, it instinctively pushes out the other eggs or even the chicks.

I hunted for it for a long time. She leads a secretive way of life. I'll poke it a couple of times, and then it stops. I go to the sound, and she is already on the other side, there cuckoo.

But still I was lucky one day, and while I decided to rest and hid in the bushes looking at the footage, she landed on the ground from above and then flew to the nearest branch.
