Which bird lays it's egg in another species nest which drives out the original chicks?

I saw a documentary about a species of bird that would lay it's egg in the nest of a smaller bird. The invading chick would push out all other original chicks and the parents would work tirelessly to feed the invader. I thought it was the Boobie Bird but that one only kicks out younger boobies. Thanks.
