The cuckoos are a family of birds, Cuculidae, the sole taxon in the order Cuculiformes. The cuckoo family includes the common or European cuckoo, roadrunners, koels, malkohas, couas, coucals and anis. The coucals and anis are sometimes separated as distinct families, the Centropodidae and Crotophagidae respectively.
The cuckoos are generally medium-sized slender birds. The majority are arboreal, with a sizeable minority that are terrestrial. The family has a cosmopolitan distribution, with the majority of species being tropical. Some species are migratory. The cuckoos feed on insects, insect larvae and a variety of other animals, as well as fruit. Many species are brood parasites, laying their eggs in the nests of other species, but the majority of species raise their own young.
In Greek mythology, Zeus transformed himself into a cuckoo so that he could seduce Hera; the bird was sacred to her.
This is a clip from "RHYTHMS OF NATURE IN THE BARYCZ VALLEY" movie. This film tells the story about nature in the Barycz River valley and enormous Milicz ponds. This area is located in the south-western part of Poland (in the middle of Europe). I and my wife made it for 2 years. Sir David Attenborough, a world-famous BBC nature documentary film maker, after watching the film "Rhythms of Nature in the Barycz Valley" wrote: "I have viewed Rhythms of Nature with great pleasure. A lovely place, beautifully filmed" More www.homan.pl

Cuckoos are well-known birds, but their distinctive and eagerly awaited song can be confused with several other species. Despite their popularity, Cuckoos are rarely seen and, when they are, can easily be mistaken for a bird of prey. Let us help you pick out this iconic bird that was once believed to turn into a Sparrowhawk in the winter - neatly explaining it's silence and disappearance outside the breeding season.

Start with the traditional craftsmanship of the German cuckoo clock, bring it to American and add hand-carved songbirds made in South Carolina. But don;t stop there! Animate the birds! When the cuckoo calls on the hour and half hour the Blue Bird "feeds" the "baby" and the Cardinal "pecks." Get yours at TheCuckooClockDeisgner.com
INDIAN black cuckoo bird.
It is a brood parasite, laying its eggs in the nests of other birds. The nests of Phylloscopus warblers such as the Arctic Warbler, Eastern Crowned Warbler, Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff are commonly used. Other hosts include the Olive-backed Pipit and Asian Stubtail. The eggs are smooth, slightly glossy and vary in colour, sometimes mimicking those of the host species. They are incubated for about 12 days. The young cuckoo is born naked and has an orange gape with black patches. Within a few days it pushes the eggs or young of the host out of the nest. Older nestlings have blackish feathers with white fringes; the belly is dark brown with white bands. The young birds fledge after around 17--19 days.
A cuckoo chick in a nest, pushes both eggs and the young over the edge of the nest, then is reared until time to leave the nest by the Dunnocks

Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She wobbles when she flies
She don't ever hire a cuckoo
Till the fourth day of july
Jack of diamonds
Jack of diamonds
I know you of old
You rob my poor pockets of silver and gold
Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
I wish that seh was mine
She don't ever drink water
She only drinks wine
Gonna build me a log cabin
On a mountain so high
So I can see willy
When he goes on by
Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She wobbles when she flies
She don't ever hire a cuckoo
