Brood Parasites

- What if you could just drop your kids off at someone else’s place and let them have the responsibility? Well, there are some animals that do just that. They’re called brood parasites, and they lay their eggs in other animals’ nests and let them do all of the hard work.

Those birds need a "YOU ARE NOT THE FATHER (PARENTS)!" show.
i can see it now "Chirpy Winger" xD
Chirpy Chirpy Chirpy!
k ill let myself out...
Rising Boner ok :(
and one day the cuckoo father bird will come to the show and say "Luke, I'm your father"
wrg,idts, just u rx notx, no shx about it
When I stab chicks to death, I'm "a murderer" and "going to jail" but when a honeyguide bird does it, no one bats an eye! Unbelievable.
those darn sjw! double standards everywhere! feminism is cancer! jews are bad...etc
+I'm fun at parties buzzfeed for one
The chick might bat an eye.
+tohopes not for long

[Italian accent] "You a-take care of my kids, okay? We don't want a-something bad to happen to you, no?"
Okay so I did hear that right 😂 I rewinded it a few times like did he say the bird will come back for revenge if the host kills its baby?? lmao crazy
🤌Capisce?🤌
I honestly thought this was on blood parasites, but either way, this is interesting.
the same here
Same
Same here.. I need to learn to read.
Same here until the first time he said cuckoo X.
me too
Jeeze, those birds are savage AF.
Well, they are classed as dinosaurs.
There;s even worse birds that do essentially this, but they also stalk the parents. If the parents reject the intruders egg, the intruder will destroy the entire nest and sometimes even their next nests as well! It's basically a maffia boss bird
The last one is like a protection racket. " What a nice brood you got here; it'd be a shame if something to it."
I think you a word
I highly recommend the book "Cuckoo (Cheating by Nature)" by Nick Davies ... goes into great depth about the evolutionary arms race of cuckoos & brood parasites & how / why they have evolved that way. Great video - I love how you pack so much useful info into such a short space of time!
LOL 0:07 best use of stock photography to date. Kudos.
Reminds me of Biology class: "we used to show you a blood test, but we gave it up as we found in every class at least one cuckoo kid (with blood group mismatch)."
SciShow Kids!
WHAT?
:D ruclips.net/user/scishowkids
How else are they suppose to escape the anus jokes?
Have my like good sir
Da kidz will Lav it
Finally!
That's dark. I suppose that's where people got the idea of the changeling story of a fairy stealing a child and replacing it with their own.
Sorzin are you a witch?, are you a fairy. Or are you the wife of Michael Clairey

The level of adaptation shown in birds is amazing.
Cuckoo comprises two phonetically identical syllables, but one is spelled "cu" and the other is spelled "koo," with an extra c thrown in there that we all agree to ignore. English, everybody.
Yep.
Cuckoo comprises two phonetically identical syllables, but one is spelled "cu" and the other is spelled "ckoo" with a silent c thrown in. English, everybody.
What's this coo-coo nonsense? Where the name came from, in Europe, the call is very distinctive, and very definitely (to my ears, anyway) kuk - koo (rhymes with buck, boo). I've heard someone say "There's that cuckoo again" because they all sound the same. I suppose cuckoos in the US don't have the same call, and so people never new that the name matches the call closely.
+John Little we have something worse. owls. damn things like to be right out side a window in the middle of the night and ask questions
+Joseph Fox Who?
What does catnip do to cats?
We're working on a video about that right now!! It'll be up in a couple weeks!
+SciShow 😀😀😀
Those wacky drug addicts! So fun!
my cat is addicted to booze bitches and catnip
animal wonders montana did a video on that
This would make an excellent horror movie
The concept finally HAS been..check out “Vivarium” starring Jesse Eisenberg...in human form it’ll bug you more
"What if you could just drop your kids off at someone else’s place and let them have the responsibility?"
You mean adoption.
It's called adoption.
No, adoption would be when they come over and take your kids so they can raise them.
Day care
+oscar garza ???
Both are right, just differing amounts of time that the other has responsibility for your kids
forced adoption :)
No wonder there is a bird in my cuckoo clock.
3:10 TIL that some birds are running a protection racket
3:21 lol sounds like a mafia bird XD
Nature is beautiful isn't it!
Sure is!🤣
is it just me or has he had that blonde strip in his hair forever
i dig it
Your username would've been more clever if it was just BryAndProud
JayX tbh i would've probably done that if 'Bry' was a nickname of mine ;((
Yeah, ever since the start I think. Initially I didn't like him as a host but I've grown to like him as one of the cast and I think he's pretty handsome.
He's reformed Max Damage.
Quick, someone call the Maury show.
I find it pretty interesting that it works also with species that aren't even similar to each other. Some species of butterflies let their caterpillers being carried away by ants, where they eat the larvae and eggs of the ants without being detected. The ants even take care of them. After transforming into an adult they leave the nest of the ants.
Hey SciShow, I've had a question for a while now, and I hope you can answer it.
Whats the difference between cat food and cat treats? Why do cats enjoy the treats note than the normal food? I always lay out the two, and my cat always runs to the treat first.
Please answer!
more*
Maybe I can answer... what cats actually crave in dry food is the animal fat in which it is soaked, not the food itself. Usually normal cat food has a limited quantitiy of these fats, that give a limited aroma, moreover the food is packed in big boxes where air can dissolve the scent over time. Treats (assuming you're talking about those that are actually made from dry food and not dry meat sticks) are made to attract cats, so the fats in which they are soaked are more appetizing to them and there's probably more. Treats are also usually packed in smaller boxes so the scent is kept for longer. There is also speculation that some chemical additive may be used to attract cats more and make them ''addicted'' to a particular brand of cat food, and while there's plenty of ancdotal evidence of this, no serious scientific study has been conducted that I know of, so I'll leave it at that.
Because its a treat, it doesn't have as much nutrients in it but taste good. Its like a cookie with vitamins in it. If you gave a plate of cookies and a plate of chicken to a kid, its going to eat the cookies.
Except in this case, because cat can't taste sugar/sweetness due to biology, fat is instead. Man, my friend's cat is chubby. lol
Why would you think it's in any way different than why humans crave treats rather than healthy food?
I've seen cowbirds forcibly run native woodpeckers out of their nests and then lay their own eggs there. And of course, they lay their own eggs into other. species nests as well. When I saw one cowbird doing the woodpecker nest thing, I shot it with a pellet rifle. Too many woodpeckers seem to be dwindling in population where I live.
wow nature has evolved such ever so kind and considerate creatures
I used to think I wanted to be a bird, I cant handle that amount of stress. With children none the less.
so what you are saying is my room mate is a brood parasite?
Was he cleverly inserted into your family by another family tricking both you and your family into thinking he was related by blood?
+Quintin Bassett and started killing his siblings
+Quintin Bassett better yet, they we're blahmailed into keeping him or they'd go to hell altogether.
If he was, wouldn't you be dead by now?
Jluyoungzone what makes you think im not dead
So...that's why they call it "catfishing" on the internet?
Alright, I think I get it. I'll lay my children in someone else's house, and hopefully they won't notice.
REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS.
How do animals know What to do and How to do without any RUclips tutorials?
I found this fascinating! Great job, keep it up!
My aunt and uncle are brood parasites, left their young for my grandparents to raise
They are actually not :) Look up 'kin selection' for why they aren't.
Those birds are like the mafia
"Raise my children... or else"
Description: "What if you could just drop your kids off at someone else’s place and let them have the responsibility? Well, there are some animals that do just that...".
Emm... Humans? Nowadays, humans do it systematically.
***** I believe that humans also do it furtively.
As the birds, some are able to understand it but some others don't. The birds do not see it because they have a shell as a barrier, while humans do not see it because they do not use logic (and that is their barrier).
+Joel HC lol( but I did delete the comment when you fixed it😉)
Yeah, you're right. When a woman lays a baby, and they wish to not take care of it, they murder the neighbors baby and put there's in their place. Totally.
+Nonuv Urbeeznus but sometimes a King has to cut it in half, but sometimes the real mother just gives it to the other to let it live, but even more rare the King might give it to the person that volunteered to give the baby
Nonuv Urbeeznus I know you were being sarcastic but you , sir , explained how a collectivist welfare state works in its ultimate purpose. To a degree that those who support it are not willing to believe or say.
Hence, "systematically" in my original comment.
humans do it.... its called daycare, mom and grandmas house.baby sitters exist you know.
It´s healthy for kids to be partly raised by their grandparents. Happens in many cultures, helps build ties between generations.
This disturbed me more than it should.
I knew about cuckoos doing this, I had no idea that other animals did it too. Thank you SciShow.
There are three type of symbiotic relationship, you showed us cases of parasitism, i.e. that are detrimental to the host. Are there animal that get other species to raise their youngs without adverse effect or even with good effects? For example humans will raise puppies with the result being good for the human and the dog (most of the time). The puppies' mother does not initiate the deal so that example is a bit flawed.
We don't really raise them unless we literally bottle feed them.
"Mutualistic brood symbiosis"? Though I don't know if there is a case specifically in raising the young of another species. Raising young is a very resource-intense behavior, so it's only common that all attempt to share some of the child-caring resource from other species is somewhat harmful to the host, at least in the nature.
people raise chickens for hens who don't go broody or aren't a good brooder all the time, and it works out
and then we eat them :D
GameFuMaster So works out well for us, but not so well for the chickens as indivduals.
SciShow kids?!?!?!?! I'm 26 and going over there to subscribe right now!
Cuckoos are fascinating to watch breed. I have five in my tank. Kittens (nickname for the fry) are super adorable.
Tell my child "I'm going out to go get cigarettes" and actually come back with two more kids lol
Also it seems like there are a lot of fire stations in nature lol
Well, that is some serious revenge. Those birds are brutal!
This is fascinating.
thanks for the ending, I was trying to eat.
Animals are animals!
Cucus are basically the fucking mafia of birds holy shit
Love watching you guys!
Excellent work and a really nice summary for my students, as well as myself.
im a teacher too my students are traumatized
The hawk-like appearance of common cuckoos doesn't scare away their hosts so they can lay an egg, it prevents the hosts from harassing the cuckoo (and also altering neighbors there's a cuckoo nearby), as explained in your cited source.
Them sneaky little dinosaurs
It's like these birds are role-playing Game of Thrones
At first I thought it said blood parasites.
I read "Blood Parasites"....now i want an episode about Blood Parasites!
Geez, from where I come from I learned that cuckoos only do 'cucoo' all day and sometimes appear in clocks
A very Cuckoo episode.
Brown-headed cowbirds actually have a good evolutionary reason for being parasites. They originally followed bison herds in the Midwest, eating insects they kicked up, and couldn't afford to get left behind sitting on eggs. The bison herds are gone now, so their brood parasitism is no longer necessary, but they can't regain the lost instincts.
I just finished watching Vivarium, and ah yes this was helpful.
There is also a ant brood that tricks the ants into thinking they are the queen killing the real queen then laying eggs making the workers help those eggs but then the hatch and take over the nest
That's cool, I didn't know there were brood parasites other than the cuckoo bird. I think the fairy wren was on a scishow quiz show once, too.
The cuckoo birds sound so gangsta when he mentioned they'll destroy the host nest if their eggs are not taken care of. Talk about brute force than stealthy parasitism.
I just saw an episode about this on Netflix. The series is called Life Story. It's episode 6. I really like that show!! Definitely recommend!!
Reminds me of a story my parents told me about when I was born and placed in the incubation room at the hospital.
Changelings, man.
I can't stop reading the title as Blood Parasites.
Fascinating! I had no idea about brood parasites.
I don't think it's a coincidence that Netflix just released a mini-series about animal life that features a cuckoo bird segment in it. I think one of the brainstorming groups for new topics was inspired by a Netflix and chill session.
One flew east, one flew west, one flew over the cuckoo's nest...
What if all the ladybugs in my backyard are infected by parasites?!?!?!
How did scientists figure all this out. Damn. Savage.
That's what day care is.
That's savage...
Discovered: Sci-Show kids
That's totally kookoo!
It has been reported in Stanley Park, Vancouver, B.C., that Mallard Ducks will drop off their ducklings with other ducks from the same species into giant groups called "Nursery Broods".
Which means ducks are better educators than us.
LIVE FOR THE SWARM
I thought they misspelt blood parasite lol
I'm imagining a woman running up to another woman, grabbing her baby and tossing it, and throwing their own baby into the first woman's arms, all while screeching viciously.
LMAO
Dang birds are savage
I had zero idea SciShow Kids existed
Cuckoo for Koko Puffs, left its children with a crazy rabbit...
My birdy just spotted an unknown egg in her nest ; told me take it and make an omelette outta it.
Oh, so that's where the word catfish comes from.
Most interesting thing I've seen in a while
You are best teacher I ever find for my 12th boards preparation as well as to prepare for my pre medical exam. If there is any app that the owner of this channel is running then please tell ????
Cuckoo birds actually can raise their own chicks if the mother can't find a suitable nest to drop her egg in. There's also some species of cuckoo birds that don't commit brood parasitism at all!
Who else watched that scarfolk video before this?
I thought it said 'Blood Parasites'. XD
same
I read the title as "Good Parasites"
Very informative.... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I like the password birds
Ahhh that's why I've seen stray eggs occasionally
DAMN NATURE, YOU SCARY
Moral of the story: Birds can be real assholes.
Somehow this reminds me of present day society
Yes it's called welfare, we have to pay taxes, so that people that don't work get everything for free or else.
@@josephusb.villanueve6687No it's more like a wife get pregnant by another man and fools the husband to think it's his
It's estimated that in USA 24% of kids aren't the husband's kid
Bird mafia
Damn, nature! ...
Dear Scishow, why do I get sick while reading in the car?
equilibrium.
they already answered that. I dont remember what video though. The simple answer is that your vestibular system sends contradictory signals to what your eyes send. So the brain just decides: yep, he probably took some shrooms and is getting hallucinations. he has to throw it up.
Your eyes confuse your ears
Your inner ear (which senses balance) and your eyes don't agree on whether or not you are moving. You inner ear feels the movement of the car, but according to what you see, you are standing still. Your brain reacts to the confusion by getting carsick.
Because you're reading shit when you should google your inquiries.
The first ever cuckoo went out saying to its chicks,"I'm going to get some groceries". According to its weather-sensing abilities, a thunderstorm was gonna hit the area the next day and there was gonna be a shortage of food. But unfortunately it got mobbed on the way back. After an honest day's work, the cuckoo did what any good parent might do to bring food to the table. It had no choice but to chase down the thief-bird cuz it was gonna be night soon. The thief-bird however led it to trees it didn't know about & then into a dark cave. Little did it know that the cave was filled with the thief's pals. That evening, it got killed trying to get food for its family. The kids back at nest never learned the truth but the bird family at the neighboring nest were nice people and they adopted them little chicks. They however grew up angry and decided to abandon their kids and let other families raise them, thinking that's what's supposed to be done. And that's how the cycle began & evolved the cuckoos to be like that.
Cool story bro
How powerful are brood parasites and what are their violations of (animal) rights?
And I like that silver-lock.
