    from a drop of blood which fell on it when he was trying to pull the thorns off our saviors head when Jesus was dying on the cross. A small bird called the neineen follows the cuckoo because she usually lays her eggs in the neineens nest. When the young cuckoo comes out he throws out the young birds and the neineen follows him seeking revenge. There are many blackbirds in Feenagh with a white feather on their wing or tail.
