Cuculus canorus

A grayish European
bird
two-note call

lays its eggs in the nests of birds of other species.
the family Cuculidae, of
grayish-brown plumage

a slender body.
cry of one of these birds.

A foolish
crazy

cuck·ooed, cuck·oo·ing, cuck·oos
repeat incessantly,
as a cuckoo does its call.

Lacking in sense
imitative,

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
