Answer:

The koel lay their eggs in crow nests to ensure there's a higher chance of clutch formation. (The clutch is the number of eggs laid.) The koel's eggs resemble those of the crow in pattern and colour.

Answer:

The cuckoo lays its eggs in other birds' nests to spare itself the effort of raising its own young. However, some parasitic avian species like the North American brown-headed cowbird (Molothrus ater) or the European great spotted cuckoo (Clamator glandarius) depredate their hosts' nests out of revenge when the hosts do not accept their eggs. Under these circumstances, it makes sense for the host birds to tolerate the additional work involved in raising the cuckoos in the nest to avoid endangering the lives of their own offspring.
