many members of the cuckulidae family (cuckoos) are parasitic nesters, and even practice infanticide, tossing the exsisting chicks out of the nest.
A few members such as the guira cuckoo (Guira guira) are not well documented as parasitic nesters. the guira practices group nesting instead. several females get together and all lay their eggs in the same place, taking turns caring for the eggs, and then the chicks. However, the females all practice egg tossing, and infanticide, so about 50% of the total young perish.
However, there is no evidence that the females selectively kill chicks and eggs that are not their own. It seems random, and there is no pattern (i.e.- size or pattern of the egg) that determines an egg’s or a chick’s relation to the female.
so, to answer your question, the cuckoo is the bird you are looking for.
Cuckoo’s lay their eggs in other bird’s nests and then once the chick has hatched it pushes out all the other eggs so that it’s the only one left. The cuckoo chick may be 3 times bigger than its ‘parents’ but they’ll stil feed it.

The cuckoo lays its eggs in other bird’s nest. I saw this on television but do not remember when or what show. I confirmed the answer on wikipedia.

“…Some birds, such as Eurasian Cuckoos, lay their eggs in the nests of other birds…”

The cuckoo bird does that.
