A female Oriental Cuckoo approached the Short-tailed Bush Warbler's nest with six 8 days old nestlings, and picked up all nestlings and removed from the nest, but did not kill. All nestlings fledged two days after being returned to the nest by observer. Refer to the following paper in detail. Kawaji, N. (2009) Removal of Short-tailed Bush Warbler's Urosphena squameiceps nestlings by the Oriental Cuckoo Cuculus saturatus. Jpn. J. Ornithol. 58: 118-120.
