I-cuckoo inyoni ehlala nathi entwasahlobo nasekuqaleni kwehlobo futhi esiyibona ngokubiza kweduna. Kuzwakala njengokuthi “gu-kuh”. Insikazi yaziwa ngokuzalela amaqanda ayo ezidlekeni zabanye abantu futhi ingawafukameli yona.
Iwashi le-cuckoo laduma eHlathini Elimnyama: leli washi lilengiswa odongeni. Njalo ngehora kuvuleka umnyango bese kuvela inyoni. Ucingo lwabo lusondela eduze kakhulu nolwe-cuckoo yangempela.
Liphila kanjani i-cuckoo?
I-cuckoo inyoni efudukayo ehamba amabanga amade kakhulu. Ichitha isikhathi esiningi engxenyeni eseningizimu ye-Afrika noma eningizimu ye-Asia. Ekupheleni kobusika bethu, uyahamba. Emazweni ethu, ifika cishe ngo-April. Ikhukhamba ngalinye lindiza lodwa, hhayi emhlambini.
Eyeduna isebenzisa ucingo lwayo olujwayelekile ukuze ihehe insikazi. Ngemva kokukhwelana, eyensikazi ngokuvamile izalela cishe amaqanda ayishumi, kodwa elilodwa kuphela ngesikhathi. Ihlala egatsheni futhi ibuke izinyoni ezihlala kuyo. Ngeke kube yinoma yiluphi uhlobo lwezinyoni. Iwuhlobo olufanayo lapho i-cuckoo yesifazane yakhulela khona. Ngokuziphendukela kwemvelo, amaqanda e-cuckoo ashintshile ukuze afane kakhulu namaqanda omndeni ophethe. Bathe ukukhula kancane.
Lapho nje i-cuckoo esanda kuchanyuselwa, iqala ukulawula amaqanda asele noma ngisho namatshwele aphume esidlekeni. Lona umzamo omkhulu ongenziwa yi-cuckoo kuphela. Abazali abaphethe bese bondla futhi bakhulise ingane ye-cuckoo ngaphandle kokuqaphela.
Nokho, ukukhuliswa ezinye izinyoni akusebenzi ngaso sonke isikhathi: ezinye izinhlobo zezinyoni zishiya izidleke zazo lapho zibona ukuthi itshwele langaphandle lihlezi kuzo. Kuye ngezinhlobo zezinyoni, lokhu kwenzeka cishe kuzo zonke izidleke zesithathu.
Abazali be-cuckoo babuyela eningizimu ngokushesha ngemva kokubekela amaqanda abo. Ikhukhamba elincane nalo liyandiza futhi ehlobo elifanayo. Akukho lutho ayelufundile kubazali bakhe begazi. Ngakho indlela eya endaweni yakhe yasebusika igcinwa kuphela ezakhini zofuzo zakhe. Ezinsikazi nazo zinephethini egobolondweni leqanda eligcinwe kuzakhi zazo zofuzo. Ngokufanayo, ulwazi lapho isidleke okufanele kamuva zizalele amaqanda azo.
Ingabe i-cuckoo isengozini?
EJalimane, kunepheya eyodwa ezalanisayo kubantu abayinkulungwane, kulo lonke elaseYurophu kukhona cishe amapheya ayizigidi eziyisithupha. Kodwa-ke, kuncike kakhulu esifundeni, ngoba ama-cuckoos asatshalaliswa ngokungalingani.
I-cuckoo isengozini kuphela ezindaweni ezithile. Inani lamapheya abamba iqhaza liyehla lapho, yingakho i-cuckoo ingasakwazi ukuzala njengokujwayelekile. Amapheya abamba izivakashi aya ngokuya encipha ngenxa yokuthi aswele indawo yokuhlala edingekayo. Ayanda amahlathi amancane kanye nothango kufanele kuthathelwe indawo kwezolimo. Indawo yokuhlala yalezi zilwane ezifuywayo iyanyamalala futhi ama-cuckoo ezinsikazi awasakwazi ukuthola izidleke zamaqanda awo.
