Abstract
⺠Scrub robins show conspicuous decline in defences both seasonally and over a decade. ⺠In absence of cuckoos motivation to reject was lost but not discrimination capacity. ⺠Cuckoo dummy presentation did not increase rejection rate. ⺠Assessment of parasitism risk could be from sight of flying cuckoos. ⺠Decrease in rejection rate according to parasitism risk reflects phenotypic plasticity.
