I saw today (Barron Woodland) an adult Horsfield's Bronze-cuckoo
consorting with what appeared to be a juvenile. To me this is
surprising so I wanted to ask the old hands (and owners of HANZAB) if
this is normal and how the cuckoo life-cycle proceeds. I thought a
cuckoo laid her egg and then departed to fun and freedom, leaving it
up to the hosts to do the nurturing. If so, how/why does an adult
cuckoo end up travelling around with a young bird? Do they actually
hang around and wait for their offspring to fledge and then join up
again? Or...?
