I-cuckoo yintaka ehlala nathi entwasahlobo nasekuqaleni kwehlobo kwaye siyibona ngokubiza kwenkunzi. Ivakala ngathi "gu-kuh". Imazi yaziwa ngokubeka amaqanda ayo kwiindlwane zabanye abantu kwaye ingawafukameli ngokwawo.
Iwotshi ye-cuckoo yaduma kwiHlathi eliMnyama: le wotshi ixhonywe eludongeni. Rhoqo ngeyure kuyavuleka ucango kwaye kuvele intaka. Umnxeba wabo usondele kakhulu kulowo we-cuckoo yokwenyani.
Ihlala njani i-cuckoo?
Icuckoo yintaka efudukayo ehamba imigama emide kakhulu. Ichitha ixesha layo elininzi kwisiqingatha esisemazantsi eAfrika okanye kumazantsi eAsia. Ekupheleni kobusika bethu, uyahamba. Kumazwe ethu, ifika malunga no-Epreli. I-cuckoo nganye ibhabha yodwa, hayi emhlambini.
Inkunzi isebenzisa umnxeba wayo oqhelekileyo ukutsala imazi. Emva kokukhwelana, imazi idla ngokubeka amaqanda amalunga neshumi, kodwa libe linye kuphela ngexesha. Ihlala phezu kwesebe ize ijonge iintaka ezihlala kuyo. Ayinakuba naluphi na uhlobo lweentaka. Yintlobo efanayo apho i-cuckoo yasemazi yakhula ngokwayo. Ngokuziphendukela kwemvelo, amaqanda e-cuckoo atshintshile ukuze afane ngokusondeleyo namaqanda osapho lomkhosi. Zinkulu kancinci.
Lakuba nje intshontsho lecuckoo liqanduselwe, liqalisa ukulawula amaqanda aseleyo okanye amantshontsho aphume kwindlwane. Lo ngumzamo omkhulu onokwenziwa yi-cuckoo kuphela. Abazali abasindleke ke ngoko bondla kwaye bakhulise umntwana we-cuckoo ngaphandle kokuqaphela.
Nangona kunjalo, ukukhuliswa ngezinye iintaka akusoloko kusebenza: ezinye iintlobo zeentaka zishiya iindlwane zazo xa ziqaphela ukuba intshontsho lasemzini lihleli kuyo. Kuxhomekeka kwiintlobo zeentaka, oku kwenzeka phantse kwindlwane nganye yesithathu.
Abazali bama cuckoo babuyela emazantsi kamsinya nje emva kokubeka amaqanda abo. I-cuckoo eselula nayo ibhabha kwakhona kwangelo hlobo. Akukho nto ayifundileyo kubazali bakhe bemvelo. Ngoko indlela eya kwindawo yakhe yasebusika igcinwa kuphela kwimizila yakhe. Iimazi nazo zinepateni kwiqokobhe leqanda eligcinwe kwimizila yazo yemfuza. Ngokunjalo, ulwazi apho indlwane kufuneka kamva zizalele amaqanda azo.
Ngaba i-cuckoo isengozini?
EJamani, kukho isibini esizalanayo kubantu abali-1,000, kulo lonke elaseYurophu kukho malunga nezigidi ezithandathu. Nangona kunjalo, kuxhomekeke kakhulu kummandla, kuba i-cuckoos isasazwa ngokungalingani.
I-cuckoo isengozini kuphela kwiindawo ezithile. Abemi bezibini zomkhosi bayancipha apho, yiyo loo nto i-cuckoo ingasakwazi ukuvelisa njengesiqhelo. Izibini zomkhosi ziya zisiba mbalwa ngokuba mbalwa ngenxa yokuswela indawo yokuhlala eyimfuneko. Aya ngokwanda amahlathi amancinci kunye neehedgews kufuneka zinike indawo kwezolimo. Indawo yokuhlala yezi zibini zezilwanyana iyanyamalala kwaye iicuckoos ezimazi azisakwazi ukufumana iindlwane zamaqanda azo.
