I was thinking that cuckoos were  parasitic themselves, in the same fashion as 
Cowbirds.

  I blundered into a yellow-billed cuckoo nest this past Wednesday at the Dewey 
Lake Wildlife Management Area in Floyd County.  There were two nestlings 
present and one egg.  The egg was pale blue.  The nestlings were charcoal gray 
in color and one was bigger than the other.  The young did not look like 
cuckoos at all, maybe cowbirds but I don't know for sure.
