It may be parasitised by the Great Spotted Cuckoo.

The nests of this species are parasitised by the Great Spotted Cuckoo.

The Great Spotted Cuckoo's call is a loud cher-cher-kri-kri and variations.

(2)'The number of great spotted cuckoos laying in each host nest was larger at Guadix than in other areas'.

(3) In the putatively recently colonized area, 'individual female great spotted cuckoos frequently laid more than one egg in each host nest'.

(4)'The three [above]behavioural changes among great spotted cuckoos in the areas of recent sympatry all led to increased reproductive success of the parasite'.

Dr. Soler studied the great spotted cuckoos and the magpies they parasitize in high altitude plateaus in southern Spain.

The Great Spotted Cuckoo exhibits brood parasitism by laying a mimicked version of the magpie egg in the magpie's nest.

This species is a secondary host of the parasitic Great Spotted Cuckoo, the European Magpie being the preferred host.

This species is occasionally parasitised by the Great Spotted Cuckoo, a brood parasite for which the Eurasian Magpie is the primary host.

Great Spotted Cuckoo, Spoonbill, Nightingale, Collared Pratincole and Stone-curlew are among its many birds.

Through the use of plasticine eggs that model those of the magpie, it was confirmed that the nest destruction was caused by the Great Spotted Cuckoo.

While the eggs and young of many parasites look strikingly different from that of their hosts, those of the great spotted cuckoo are good mimics of the magpie's.

The parasitic Great Spotted Cuckoo (Clamator glandarius) and its magpie host, both native to Southern Europe, are completely sympatric species.

The Great Spotted Cuckoo lays the majority of its eggs in the nests of the European Magpie, Pica pica.

It has been observed that the Great Spotted Cuckoo repeatedly visits the nests that it has parasitised, a precondition for the Mafia hypothesis.

They claimed that rejection of eggs of the great spotted cuckoo Clamator glandarius by magpie Pica pica hosts varied according to the duration of sympatry.

Great Spotted Cuckoos, when in South Africa, are sympatric with at least 8 species of starling and 2 crows - Pied Crow and Cape Crow.

To complicate matters even further, Dr. Rothstein said he and his colleagues have studied the same parasite, the great spotted cuckoo, in Israel where it leaves its eggs in crows' nests.

Young great spotted cuckoos reared by pied crows, and striped cuckoos reared by arrow-marked babblers, are both known to give begging calls identical to those of the host young.

GREAT SPOTTED CUCKOO Clamator glandarius.

The Great Spotted Cuckoo (Clamator glandarius) is a member of the cuckoo order of birds, the Cuculiformes, which also includes the roadrunners, the anis and the coucals.

The Great Spotted Cuckoo (Clamator glandarius) has been recorded as a brood parasite of the Western Jackdaw, depositing its eggs in their nests in Spain and Israel.

The results from these experiments show that after the removal of the parasitic eggs from the Great Spotted Cuckoo, these nests are predated at much higher rates than those where the eggs were not removed.

The Great-spotted Cuckoo (Clamator glandarius) sometimes uses this species as a brood host.

The parasitic Great Spotted Cuckoo (Clamator glandarius) and its magpie host, both native to Southern Europe, are completely sympatric species.

They claimed that rejection of eggs of the great spotted cuckoo Clamator glandarius by magpie Pica pica hosts varied according to the duration of sympatry.

GREAT SPOTTED CUCKOO Clamator glandarius.

The Great Spotted Cuckoo (Clamator glandarius) is a member of the cuckoo order of birds, the Cuculiformes, which also includes the roadrunners, the anis and the coucals.

The Great Spotted Cuckoo (Clamator glandarius) has been recorded as a brood parasite of the Western Jackdaw, depositing its eggs in their nests in Spain and Israel.

There are two avian species that have been speculated to portray this mafia-like behavior, the brown-headed cowbird of North America, Molothrus ater, and the Great Spotted Cuckoo of Europe, Clamator glandarius.
