Funga
Kekeo hawajengi tago lao lenyewe lakini hutaga mayai yao katika matago ya ndege wengine, yai moja katika kila tago baada ya kutoa yai moja la mwenye tago (udusio wa kiota, Kiing. brood parasitism). Kwa kawaida mayai ya kekeo yafanana na yale ya mwenye tago. Mara nyingi ndani ya domo la makinda yao ni sawasawa na ile ya makinda ya mwenyewe, pengine wanafanana kabisa, lakini kinda la kekeo ni takriban kila mara mkubwa zaidi. Akitoka yai ayasukuma mayai au makinda ya mwenyewe nje ya tago. Mwenye tago aendelea kumpa kinda la kekeo chakula.
