    it lives in other birds nests
    There is a song about
    the cuckoo.
    "The cuckoo is a pretty little Bird,"
    She sings and she flys, she brings us good, tidings and tells us no lies,"
    She sucks the young bird's eggs to make her voice clear, and she never cries "cuckoo" till Summer draws near.
