Cuckoo mystery solved in 1922

Over at the BBC:

Rare footage that solved the secret of how a cuckoo lays its eggs in other birds' nests is being shown on television almost 90 years after it was recorded.

It was filmed by Oliver Pike with a hand-cranked camera in the 1920s and is one of the first wildlife films ever made.

Apparently this was groundbreaking. I wonder what the other competing theories were. If this has you scratching your head see this post.
