  • Cuckoo... A Mexican Folk Tale

    Cuckoo... A Mexican Folk Tale
    Oct 31 2024

    Tanya and Pete, along with children on Waiheke, have just been celebrating the arrival of Migratory birds on our shores. These include the Bar-Tailed Godwit/Kuaka which has made the loooong journey from western Alaska to New Zealand for a summer holiday and the Shining Cuckoo called the Pīpīwharauroa, which has flown from Indonesia/Bismarck Archipelago to have it's young. Like all cuckoos the Pīpīwharauroa lays it's egg in another birds nest (Grey Warbler/Riroriro).
    So to celebrate the cuckoo Tanya tells a Mexican folk tale that connects the cuckoo to spring and the sowing of seeds.
