From Wikipedia:
It is a brood parasite, which means it lays eggs in the nests of other bird species, particularly of dunnocks, meadow pipits, and reed warblers. Although its eggs are larger than those of its hosts, the eggs in each type of host nest resemble the host's eggs. The adult too is a mimic, in its case of the sparrowhawk; since that species is a predator, the mimicry gives the female time to lay her eggs without being attacked.

Brood parasite, pushing the host’s eggs and/or chicks out of the nest and taking the hosts resources for itself. Takers, not givers.
Pffftttt!

The whole "brood parasite" pretty much describes Eloon's whole M.O. of taking over a business after others did all of the work. So, a cuckoo would be especially fitting. That, and he's just cuckoo, as in batshit-crazy.

Vintery, mintery, cutery, corn,
Apple seed and apple thorn,
Wire, briar, limber lock
Three geese in a flock
One flew East
One flew West
And one flew over the cuckoo's nest.

An excellent movie.
It’s on my list of things to check out next trip down the mountain to the library.
