Cuckoos are a common bird fairly distributed across the globe, and this day is observed almost in all the possible corners of the world.
This day is observed by anyone aware of the purpose of this day.
This day was created a several centuries ago during the middle ages.
Particularly the Europeans had chanced upon the belief that if you hear a cuckoo sing on the first day of summer, it will follow wet summers. Hence, they are considered as the proponents of this day.
Let us learn some more about the history of this fun celebration.
The Europeans were the creators of this day, and they predicted the weather of the remaining summer based on superstition. The superstition goes that if a cuckoo was heard singing on the first day of summer would follow a wet summer.
The perfect way to observe this day is by looking out for singing cuckoos!
This is the day to know crazy cuckoo facts like the roadrunners in cartoons being from the cuckoo family.
Cuckoos do not fend for their chicks. Cuckoo eggs are laid in other birds' nests that look after the cuckoo chick - this is another thing that you should know on this day.
This day remember how cuckoos are vanishing in recent years.
This day is observed on the first day of summer, June 21, which is the Summer Solstice or Finally Summer Day.
This day was created by the Europeans in the middle ages and is still observed by people who believe in the superstition associated with it.
This day was created out of the belief that the cuckoo song on June 21 determined that the summers would be wet.
The Europeans invented the concept of Cuckoo warning day.
The Europeans believed that if you hear a cuckoo sing on the first day of summer, that summer is expected to be wet.
There is no reason to think that celebrating this day might be unethical for anyone.
