This story tells us that no matter what we do, we have to prepare in advance, oldCuckooEvery year at this time, people start to call the cuckoo, but he didn't expect that this year's spring came early, so it can only be called hurry to plant seedlings.

This cartoon is adapted from the original book of the same name by Jin Jin. When spring comes, the cuckoo leads the children to fly to the mountain village as in previous years, calling "cuckoo" and "cuckoo" to remind people to sow grain seeds quickly. Its cry drew good-natured ridicule from many animals and birds, who said that it was late this year, that the grain had been sown and that the seedlings had now grown.

The cuckoo flew to the farmland to see that the ground was verdant, and under the explanation of its old friend Scarecrow, the cuckoo realized that people had adopted scientific farming methods, and now they could plant early and harvest early. Feeling useless anymore, the cuckoo taught the children to "plant early and harvest early" at the advice of the scarecrow, but he always found it awkward.

Spring is coming, and the cuckoo is coming to the mountain village again, as in previous years, "Cuckoo! Cuckoo! He urged the people to sow the rice quickly.

Seed. But this year, the cuckoo met many animals and birds who said that he was late, and people had already sown the rice seeds.

The cuckoo did not believe it, and went to the farmland to see it in person, and sure enough, the seedlings in the field had spit green, and under the introduction of the scarecrow on the edge of the ground, the cuckoo suddenly realized that people had taken a lot of scientific methods to make sowing seeds in advance. The cuckoo feels that he can no longer come to the mountain village on his own time, and must come early next year to call "cuckoo!" ”。

Cuckoo - Cuckoo -

Listen, the cuckoo is crying.

Why do cuckoos cry?

It turns out that the cuckoo has no home, so he has to secretly give birth to his baby in someone else's house.

You say, they gave birth to their babies in someone else's home, can they not worry about crying?

Early in the morning, the cuckoo mother was looking for a suitable baby to give birth to. Because she is going to give birth to 10 babies, she has to find a few more.

Cuckoo Daddy and Cuckoo Mother first check out the Skylark's home.

The lark built his home in a pile of stones on the slope at the foot of the mountain. Skylark just gave birth to 4 babies yesterday.

The cuckoo couple was satisfied and ready to have a baby here.

In order to distract the mother lark, the cuckoo father began to sing in a tree not far away.

The mother lark, who likes to sing, hears the song and flies out with the sound.

The mother cuckoo quickly flew to the lark's house and pushed out the two lark eggs, which shattered to the ground outside.

Then, the mother cuckoo laid two eggs at the lark's house as fast as she could.

Then the cuckoo flew towards the turtledove's home. The turtledove's home is covered in grass. But she was laying eggs in her own house.

The mother cuckoo was patient, she sat on a branch next to her and waited quietly. After a while, the turtledove gave birth to 3 beautiful egg babies and flew away.

The mother cuckoo flies over quickly, eats a turtledove egg, and then lays her own egg in the turtledove's nest.

Then, the mother cuckoo lays an egg in the reed's home.

Soon, the baby cuckoo in the reed warbler's family was the first to break through the eggshell.

As soon as he was born, he pushed the eggs of other reed warblers out of the nest.

If all the other baby warblers were born, the mother warbler would find out that I was not her baby. ”

You see, the little cuckoo is as cunning as his mother.

In this way, the little cuckoo is in the mother of the reed warbler'Under all kinds of pampering, I slowly grew up.

On this day, the little cuckoo flapped its wings, left its mother warbler, and went to the air to find its dream.

When night comes, the cuckoo calls can be heard in the mountains and in the grass.

The cuckoo's call is very crisp and can be heard far away. We often hear cuckoos calling in June, when the cuckoo is ready to give birth.

Cuckoos are generally about 33 centimeters long, with a dark gray body and a long tail.

The cuckoo is a migratory bird, and in winter, it migrates to the warmer south.

The cuckoo's call is unique, and its habits are peculiar, just like the story we just told , the cuckoo does not have its own nest and does not live with its family. The cuckoo will lay its eggs in the nests of other cuckoos and let other birds feed their babies. The act of cuckoos laying eggs in other nests is called "nest parasitism".

"Nest parasitism" is a characteristic habit of cuckoos. Therefore, the cuckoo has two sets of parents, a biological parent and an adoptive parent.

When he was young, he liked to eat insects, and when he grew up, he would catch pests from big trees to eat, so the cuckoo was also the doctor of big trees.
