Is it worth a scientific paper if a Large-billed Crow eats a fish? Different from many other parasitic cuckoos, the chick typically does not kill all its nest mates, though one or two of them may die from starvation. I hope he is right.

We can choose not to kill and eat someone we do not need to eat in order to survive. Yes, that's true.
