- (continued from previous page)these birds do not migrate.
The robin builds her nest on a bank, or in an old can that would be thrown out. You would see the robins washing themselves in a pool of water on the road, all the robins in my district are very domesticated.
The cuckoo comes to Ireland in April, and she lays her eggs in a tit lark's nest. She migrates to France in August.
The swallows come to Ireland in April. They build their nests in cow-sheds, or in pig-sties. When they are about to migrate, they all get in a line, along a wall, or fence, to prepare for their journey.
