The astonishingly convincing egg mimicry among some brood parasites is apparent testimony to such discrimination and its counteradaptive consequences. While the differential cost argument may explain egg mimicry, it is still not clear why hosts show no discrimination against an offspring as obviously alien as is, say, a cuckoo chick to a small passerine parent. After all, time and resources could be saved even if the breeding opportunity that year is lost. One answer may be that the parasite exploits the potentially high cost to the host of withholding parental care from a begging chick on the off-chance that it might be a parasite.
