Cuc-koo cuc-koo

[rimturse]

We have a cuckoo! I'm so excited!

Of course I knew there were cuckoos in Denmark, I just can't recall ever hearing one and I'm pleasantly surprised, it's a lovely, lovely sound.

I just love bird song, even the krrraaaa of the crow, which reminds me of winter and dark days. The only sound I'm not keen on is cooing of the pigeon that likes to sit the tree outside our bedroom when it starts to brighten, which in Denmark is around 03:30. It's not so much the sound itself, but that he's inconsistent:

cooo-cruuu-cooo, cooo-cruuu-cooo, cooo-cruuu-cooo...crouuuuuu
cooo-cruuu-cooo, cooo-cruuu-cooo...crouuuuuu
cooo-cruuu-cooo, cooo-cruuu-cooo...crouuuuuu
cooo-cruuu-cooo, cooo-cruuu-cooo, cooo-cruuu-cooo, cooo-cruuu-cooo...crouuuuuu

Sometimes he co-cru-cooos twice, other times thrice, occasionally four times in a row...and you're just lying there waiting for the other shoe to drop or rather the next co-cru-co. It's utterly frustrating. I'm tempted to eat him.
