Dear all,

I understand that both of the above birds lay their eggs in other bird's nests for the other bird species to raise.

My puzzle is that I see both Channel-billed Cuckoos and Koels in what seem to be family groups. How could this be? Do parents and orphans later reunite?

I would appreciate it if anyone could shed some light on this for me.

Regards, Brad.
