🦉 The common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus)

📚 Cuculus (lat.) cuckoo
📚 canorus (lat.) melodic, musical

Everyone has heard about this bird, but few have seen it live. The bird is heard everywhere in the forests, but not seen. She is very cautious and shy.

By the way, I met her not only in the forests, but also in the meadows. There, a pair of these nesting parasites tried to sabotage while the male distracted the attention of the stonechats, the female waited for the moment to lay an egg in their nest.

I noticed that some birds are still aware of their behavior, and when they see them, they try to drive the cuckoos away. I remember how a little warbler flew near a huge cuckoo and quickly flapped her wings and screamed.
