    Their eggs of those birds are somewhat similar to that of the turkey eggs. The lark builds its nest in a field that is well covered with grass, or in the bog. The crow builds her nest on the top of high trees. When a flock of crows collect together on the top of a hill it is a sure sign of rain. The cuckoo is the most peculiar of all birds, she builds no nest of her own at all but she lays one egg in the nest of another bird.
