This is the nest of a small bee-eater, but this is no baby bee.

This is a little bee-eater’s nest. But this is not a little bee-eater chick. It’s a newly hatched honeyguide— and it’s much more lethal. When its mother placed it here, she punctured all the other eggs in the nest. However, one little bee-eater chick survived the attack and is now hatching. Although the honeyguide nestling is still completely blind, it instinctively stabs the little bee-eater chick with its sharp, hooked beak. And over the following weeks, the host parents devotedly care for the hatchling that murdered their offspring.
