Suomen Luonto, a Finnish nature magazine, described following interesting incident in its latest issue:
Turdus pilaris built his nest on top of a nestbox occupied by Parus caeruleus. Turdus' nestlings hatched earlier, and the male Parus started to feed them. Turdus parents did not chase away such a helping beak, and the female Parus was still on her eggs when Turdus youngs left the place. He-Parus was so badly mislead by Turdus rascals´ large open mouths, that he often forgot to bring lunch to his wife. Eventually the Parus pair left the place, leaving ten eggs unhatched.
