What does a cuckoo sound like?
A Cuckoo is a bird. It lays one egg in a nest of another bird species. When the Cuckoo chick hatches, it ejects from the nest the eggs and/or chicks of the birds which built the nest, and is fed all the food by the "parent" birds. The parent Cuckoo takes no part in bringing up it's chick. The Cuckoo grows to be a large bird and can look daft sitting on a tiny nest, being fed by the small "parent" birds like finches, etc. The name Cuckoo comes from it's call - "Cook-koo" as in the Cuckoo clock. There is also a Flower called the Cuckoo.
