Abstract
⺠Great spotted cuckoo chicks can throw out food and continue begging. ⺠It is the only brood parasite species considered as begging dishonestly. ⺠Here, we demonstrate that cuckoos do not throw out food because they are satiated. ⺠And that, in this cuckoo species, as in other brood parasites, begging is not dishonest.
