Although cuckoos do not show parental care, they demonstrate complex social interactions, including territorial behaviors and male–male aggression.

The males hold “song-territories” for the purposes of attracting females, while the latter hold their own exclusive “egg-territories”, containing a supply of the nests of their host species.

Cuckoos have a well-known and simple two-phrase call (‘cu’ and ‘coo’), uttered by males during their breeding season. Previous studies suggested that the ‘cu-coo’ call of males is individually unique, potentially allowing discrimination between different classes of males.
