The cuckoos are a family, Cuculidae, of near passerine birds. The cuckoos are generally medium sized slender birds. Cuckoos don't bother making their own nests. Instead, they lay their eggs in other bird's nests. This way cuckoos do not have all the hard work of looking after their own chicks -other birds do it for them!
Most birds take minutes to lay an egg. The mother cuckoo can lay an egg in 9 seconds ! This allows her to quickly pop it in the nest of another bird.

Spring is already come!
Black cuckoos have already started cooing near my house.
But, what's the matter?
Your cuckoos look so sad. Have you made them look so or
have they not received any spring message from their kin and kith in Japan?

9 second egg laying? That sounds fast, but painful.
