@kimchistew cuckoo birds lay their eggs in other birds nests, and when hatched they instinctively kick any other eggs or baby birds out, killing them.
The parents then feed the bird that is someone else’s child that murdered their own children unknowingly and since they usually grow much larger than their parents the other birds often exhaust themselves feeding an insatiable child.
(It’s where the modern term ‘cuck’ comes from; being cuckolded – basically being in a situation where one would end up looking after another person’s child unknowingly)
The FMC is comparing herself to a cuckoo bird, a fake who has taken the place of the original children.
However, the guardian reassured the FMC the cuckoo bird is not necessarily evil, and if the bird cares for its new family, then it’s not a bad thing.
