A BLIND BUT BLOODY MINDED MONSTER.
SUCH is THE CUCKOO CHICK WONDERFULLY
FORMED BY NATURE FOR MURDER

mo Of our migratory birds Is more
eagerly awaited or more gladly hailed than that
reprObate the cuckoo says o. H. Latter, in
The Cornhi1 Magazine" The cuckoo's note
at it's best and clearest. gains much by
being heard from a distance; at close quarters IL
has an undeniable coarseness and an aggressive
bullying tone. To us the sound has a pleasing
air of abandon and responsibility; to a host Of
little birds it is the premonitOry knell of disap
pointed hopes and murdered children. Can II be
that they in any aware Of the wreck
OF all their home that surely follows the visit
of a cuckoo?
TN spite of a general knowledge OF the ways
of the cuckoo. We are profoundly ignorant on
many most interesting points connected with
him Every one knows that the cuckoo puts her
egg into the nest Of another bird and assigns
the hOnOrs of incubation and rearing of off,
spring TO the little foster parents. 1 the
word puts advisedy; she does not lay her egg
IN the nest. but the ground. and then. pick
ing 1t up in her beax. places IL in the This
act has been observed by many persons. and it
seems probable that the cuckoo first marks
down a nest and then lays an egg on the
ground close at hand-she does not go flying
about the country with the egg In her mouth
seeking whom she may defraud.
"A friend of mine saw a cuckoo alight upon a
roadway some ivy clad buildings. lay an
egg, pick IL up in her beak. and at once place it
In a wagtails nest in the ivy. At least two
well authenticated instances are known OF the
bird placing her egg In a newly finished nest
which at the time did not contain any eggs OF
the lawful owner. while there Is abundant evi-
dence to show that frequently the cuckoo re-
moves an egg to make room, as it were. for her
own.
IF the legitimate owners Of the nest at
home when the cuckoo pays her call they siren
uously resist the intruder. and sometimes.
may hope. with success. for the strange egg has
the ground near the nest. At any rate. the
discovery of numerous breast feathers from the
cuckoo. scattered round the desecrated home, Is
eloquent testimony to a valiant but alasl vain
defence.
1T is possible. indeed probable. that some
birds are more tolerant than others: mischiev-
persons have ere now interchanged eggs of
different species in numbers OF nests. working
endless confusion in the avian nurseries. to the
complete satisfaction. however, OF the nurses.
Many a bird's-nesting boy has given a stone for
an egg. and apparently allayed all suspicion,
while only the other day there came to my
notice a coot happily engaged in sitting six
of her own eggs and two OF a mOorhen. Do
