Child development should be dealt with from early childhood. But how? After all, children are completely uninterested in pondering over some tricky tasks. But the riddles are a great find for curious kids.
There are a huge number of puzzles about a variety of subjects. This article is devoted to an inconspicuous, but very cunning bird - a cuckoo. We have selected the most interesting puzzles for children. You can find the answers at the end of each poem.
The appearance of the bird
All representatives of the Kukushkov family are characterized by a small body, a long stepped tail and strong paws. The external inconspicuousness of the feathered individual is more than compensated by its cunning! How is the cuckoo described in riddles?
He loves freedom, flies everywhere
Shouting "cuckoo" at the edge of the forest.
Who will bring up her children?
Any! Just not ... (Cuckoo).
Nest parasites
Many cuckoos are often called "nesting parasites." Have you already guessed why?
Oh this bird doesn't like
To mess with your baby.
Put egg to girlfriends
Maybe sly (Cuckoo).
These birds love to lay their eggs in other nests. And therefore, when small cuckoos are born, they do not look like “adoptive parents” who raised and raised them. The chicks develop rapidly and, at best, leave the nest in 2-3 weeks. At worst, they can oust the young of the bird in whose nest they found themselves at the behest of their mother. This feature is described in many cuckoo puzzles.
Being a bad mom is easy
Alien nests are close to her.
Her kids grow in them,
Naughty kids.
Cruel little birdie
And her name is ... (Cuckoo).
***
In the pine forest at the edge
The baby appeared.
If mom is a cuckoo,
So the chick ... (Little cuckoo).
Cuckoo habitats
Most cuckoos live in forests; some individuals prefer open areas.
An ordinary cuckoo, brazenly laying eggs in the nests of its relatives of the Vorobyin family, can be seen and heard in the forest, park, near ponds and even high in the mountains. And wherever this gray bird lives, the familiar “Ku-ku” is heard, which is often mentioned in riddles about the cuckoo.
Such a bird is not for a cage,
She sits in a forest on a branch
"Ku-ku" insists, counts the years,
All the kids - in other people's nests.
Bad mom and girlfriend
Unstable (Cuckoo).
Who is still a cuckoo? Little is known what the usual cuckooing is the work of the male cuckoo. The female is only able to publish a barely audible “Kli-Kli-Kli”.
Redstart, Flytraps
Kids are raised by a clever bird.
With her in the forest will not be bored:
Loud, clear, polyphonic,
Like a clockwork toy
Sound favorite repeats.
At the big forest edge
Who's screaming cuckoo? ... (Cuckoo).
We hope that these cuckoo puzzles will help your child learn a lot about this bird.
