    (continued from previous page)
    The swallow and the cuckoo migrate in the winter. The cuckoo builds no nest but lays her eggs in another birds nest. When he is a couple of days old, he throws out the other little birds, and the mother bird feeds them. The swallow builds her nest in house eaves in old ruins and in other places.
