Geocache Description:


EST: Esimesed paar päeva pärast rändelt saabumist on isaslind vaikne, aga siis hakkab kukkuma. See on vali ja väga iseloomulik hääl, mida naljalt teiste lindude häälitsustega segi ei aja. Kukkudes istub ta kõrgemal kohal, näiteks puuvõra ülemises otsas rõhtsal oksal. Harvem kukub kägu lennul. Kukkudes laseb kägu tiivad ripakile ning tõstab ja langetab saba. Kägu võib kukkuda ükskõik mis kellaajal, aga eriti intensiivne on kukkumine hämaruse ajal. Isaslinnu hääle peale lendab kohale emaskägu, aga kui seda ei juhtu, siis lendab isaslind pisut teise kohta ja hakkab uuesti kukkuma.

Emaskäod ei kuku. Isase juurde lennanud emane trillerdab valjult "kli-kli-kli-kli-kli", aga erilise erutuse hetkedel toob kuuldavale kumeda hüüu, mis on kuuldav ainult lähedalt ja meenutab summutatud itsitamist.

Otsi isane kägu üles.
Parem otsida kahekesi.
Ära roni puu otsa!

ENG: The male bird is quiet for the first few days after arriving from south. Only the male cuckoo calls cuckoo-cuckoo-cuckoo, and as the spring progresses the double-note tends to change: In June I change my tune. He sits higher, for example on a horizontal branch at the top of the tree. The cuckoo sings less often in flight. He lowers the wings of the cuckoo-cuckoo-cuckoo and raises and lowers the tail. The cuckoo can be sing at any time, but singing is especially intense at dusk. A female cuckoo flies over the voice of the male bird, but if this does not happen, the male bird flies to a slightly different place and begins to cuckoo-cuckoo-cuckoo again.


Females do not make cuckoo-cuckoo-cuckoo. The female’s bubbling call is often said to resemble the sound of bath water running out when the plug is pulled.

Find the male cuckoo.
Better to search in pairs.
Don't climb a tree!
