    a nest that the bird will be cursing him.
    All the birds build their own nests except the cuckoo. She visits a nest when some other bird is not at home and lays an egg and then flies off. On some occasions the weather can be foretold by the behaviour of birds. When the swallows fly high fine weather may be soon coming or expected to continue, but when they fly low and close to the ground rain is approaching. When sea gulls assemble on the land, stormy and rainy weather is practically at hand. Small birds pursue the cuckoo because she robs their nests.
