Discussion

• mod_1: Pseudo-data point k is used, rather than k_J; Data set tp and parameter t_R are added, the latter replacing clutch interval t_N. Postnatal T is based on PrinPres1991, see get_T_Aves. See further the revision page, theme puberty

Facts

• Brood parsite for Arrowmarked Babbler, Turdoides jurdineii, in south Africa (Ref: Wiki)
• Does not push host eggs/chicks out of the nest
