A relative of them, the Brown-breasted Bulbul, relies on a different strategy to avoid being cuckolded – placing their nests away from forests (where the cuckoo lives), and aggressively attacking cuckoos.

There are two patterns that are fairly extreme that fall into this category: brood parasitism and helper-at-the-nest strategy. In the case of brood parasitism, made famous by the many species of Cuckoo as well as cow birds and some fiches, among others, one might expect the host birds to evolve anti-parasitism strategies.
