This morning I heard it from my terrace. The unmistakable ko-ko call from somewhere in the distance. It was unusually early and sounded unusually close.

After a long flight from Africa, the cuckoo is back on our Nordic latitudes once again, letting its characteristic two-note call be heard — a sound that many of us enjoy hearing because it is so strongly associated with the arrival of spring.

The cuckoo builds no nests of its own and does not care for its offspring; instead, it parasitizes other, smaller birds. The truth behind the cuckoo’s alluring call is a brutal story of occupation of others’ homes, false identity, mass murder, ethnic cleansing and coldly pitting group against group.

As tradition dictates, in May I am republishing my chronicle “The Cuckoo’s Lost Moral Foundation.”
