in New Zealand wrote: “ The Maoris have often seen the shining cuckoo at work. For. about eight months of the year they roamed the bush weekly, even daily. For days together a Maori would be perched on a tree from which he could see everything going on about him. He saw the shining cuckoo select a nest, and sometimes proceed to toss out the true owner’s eggs with its bill. It sometimes crushed them in doing so, and sometimes ate them. It laid its own eggon a stump, the barrel of a prone tree, or the leafy ground. It then took its egg and placed it in the nest. It -worked silently and quickly, and sometimes remained concealed in the vicinity, as if to see_ what the grey warbler would do with its egg. 1 never* heard a Maori say that the foster-mother tossed the intruding egg out of the nest.”
