It is not common for a mother bird to kick out one of its own babies to feed other babies. However, it is possible in some species of birds that practice brood parasitism, such as the brown-headed cowbird or the European cuckoo. In these species, the female lays her eggs in the nests of other bird species, and the host bird unknowingly raises the parasitic chick along with its own offspring. In some cases, the parasitic chick will grow larger and demand more food than the host bird's own chicks, leading to competition and sometimes the eviction of the host bird's offspring from the nest. However, it's important to note that this behavior is not common among all bird species, and many birds are highly devoted parents that work hard to feed and protect their young.
