After swallowing his first wife and raping his mother (the titaness Rhea) who tried to forbid him from marrying because of his excessive lust, Zeus pursued his sister Hera for three hundred years. Hera refused, being aware of his lustful nature. In the end he resorted to trickery, turning himself into a cuckoo with a broken wing. When Hera picked up the bird to comfort it, he turned back into Zeus and raped her. She married him out of shame at the rape. In fact, the rape of Hera represents the defeat of feminine concept of the supreme being by the male, which scholars believe happened when Aryans invaded the ancient Greeks and replaced Hera as the supreme being with Zeus.

Perhaps: when Zeus was in love with Hera in her maidenhood he changed himself into the cuckoo, and she caught it to be her pet [in order to seduce her]. No myth says she did not want to marry Zeus.
Zeus wanted to marry Hera but Hera was not interested. One stormy night, Zeus transformed into a cuckoo bird and, seeming helpless in the rain and wind, Hera wrapped the bird (Zeus) up in her arms. Zeus saw his chance and transformed back to himself and when Hera was caught off guard, he raped her. Hera wanted to keep it a secret but when she became pregnant and couldn't explain herself, she told all the other gods her and Zeus were together.
Depends on which tale you take. One story tells of her being raped by Zeus and she married him to save face. Another she willing choose him. Another they choose each other.

The first encounter between Hera and her husband Zeus, king of all the gods, was in the region of the Hesperides. Hera was not responding to his attempts to seduce her so he resorted to trickery that appealed to Hera's nurturing side. It was winter and Zeus turned himself into a cuckoo that appeared to be frozen from the cold. Hera, feeling sorry for the bird turned to her motherly instincts as she held the bird tightly to her breast to warm it. Zeus then turned himself back into his normal shape and took advantage of the surprised state Hera was in. Unable to fight him off, Hera was raped and then persuaded to marry him to cover her shame.
Hera did not want to marry Zeus, but Zeus changed himself into a bird, and then made storms rage over him so then Hera felt pity on the bird into her hands. Then Zeus changed and said that Hera had to marry him. Feeling trapped Hera agreed to marry him because she felt pity on this poor bird
