The egg, as most school boys know, Is very variable in color. When it Is hatched the young cuckoo qpeodily thrusts out Its foster parents* eggs, and even any young ones, shoul dering them, as It were, on its back, as Jenner (who actually saw the process) describes it, apd then throwing them out of the nest with a jerk. Most resi dents In the country must have noticed the ungainly looking young cuckoo after It has flown from the nest, resting on the lawn or on a tree in a helpless, begging attitude, noisily calling for food, which Is always faithfully sup plied by Its foster mother, even when herself but a little water wagtail Tills contrast between the pair In rise and Independence Is ludicrous and striking.
