Lays five or six eggs. The wren, the smallest lays up to 16 eggs and hatches them. The cuckoo does not build any nest but lays her eggs in another bird’s nest and that bird hatched it. The cuckoo does not sit on the nest at all. The crow is the first that starts to build her nest. She begins to build on the first of March. Supplied and written by B.J. Corristine, Killadiskert
