It would be nice to have a photograph of cuckoos. Is there one on another language wiki?
What's the source for the statement that the chick calls are more important than the gape colour? jimfbleak 05:02, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
does anyone know where i can find the source, or sources for the first two entries in the Culture section about the Cuckoo in English culture? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.176.224.124 ( talk) 23:30, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
The "Breeding" section is so appallingly poorly-written, I gave up fixing inconsistencies, misuse of apostrophes and punctuation, etc., and am simply leaving a suggestion that: anybody with the time and patience might consider cleaning it up.

In Russia/former USSR there was a common folk belief/saying that a cuckoo can predict one's life expectancy. When you hear it call, you can ask something like "tell me Cuckoo, how long will I live?", and then the duration of the following call will be the indicator of how many years you may have remaining.
Russian band Kino refers to this custom in their song "Kukushka" (The Cuckoo) with the line "How many songs not yet written are there [for me]? Tell me, Cuckoo". 96.49.206.5 ( talk) 00:05, 11 July 2014 (UTC) Knows-Russian
