A young Cuckoo

has no problem catching caterpillars. The hairy species are also eaten with skin and hair. Quite special when you consider that they do not get an example from their parents. They are already in tropical Africa around this time of year. The young birds have to figure it out for themselves and that's fine with them. In the coming weeks, they too will be able to find their way to their wintering area flawlessly. Without parents and navigation system.
