EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 68 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 3 (1873), presents a captivating image of a Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) chick nestled amongst the foliage of Calluna (Heather) and surrounded by the eggs of other bird species. This hand-coloured lithograph showcases the intricacies of the natural world, with the brown, featherless chick contrasting against the speckled, blue-green eggs of the host birds. The Common Cuckoo is a fascinating member of the Cuculiformes order and the Cuculidae family, known for its brood parasitic behavior. Instead of building its own nest, the adult Cuckoo lays its eggs in the nests of other birds, leaving the host parents to raise the cuckoo chick. This cuckoo chick, depicted in the image, is ejecting one of the host eggs from the nest, a behavior that increases its chances of survival. The Common Cuckoo is an Eudicot, belonging to the Angiospermae class, and is often found in woodlands, heathlands, and gardens. This daytime bird feeds primarily on insects, making it an essential part of the ecosystem. The image also includes several other birds, such as the Redwing (Turdus iliacus) and the Stonechat (Saxicola torquata), which are common residents of the same habitats. The intricate details of the Common Cuckoo chick and its surroundings, as captured in this 19th-century lithograph, provide a glimpse into the natural history of Great Britain and the intricate relationships between various species within the ecosystem.
