    Maybe it is because I studied biology, but I do not find what the cuckoo chick and the warbler do surprising, the instinct is a stereotyped behavior encoded in the genes and expressed (and selected over time) as any phenotype. What is surprising is how we human generally think we do not have...

    that period of time before the sun shows itself, but when the great outdoors is already filled with beautiful sounds of nature. The birds that you hear are mainly males. They are doing what male birds do best, protecting/claiming their territory (money) and/or trying to attract a mate (fools).
