Abstract
IN the last volume of NATURE (vol. xliv. p. 223) an account is given by “E. W. P.” of a cuckoo which was brought up in a house, and which disappeared one day in November, and was found in the following March on a shelf in the back kitchen, “still alive, and asleep, with all its feathers off, and clothed only in down, the feathers lying in a heap round the body.”
