A Cuckoo is a bird. It lays one egg in a nest of another bird species. When the Cuckoo chick hatches, it ejects from the nest the eggs and/or chicks of the birds which built the nest, and is fed all the food by the "parent" birds. The parent Cuckoo takes no part in bringing up it's chick. The Cuckoo grows to be a large bird and can look daft sitting on a tiny nest, being fed by the small "parent" birds like finches, etc. The name Cuckoo comes from it's call - "Cook-koo" as in the Cuckoo clock.
There is also a Flower called the Cuckoo.
There are many different types of Cuckoo birds, but two types have the familiar sound coo-coo-coo coo-coo-coo. They are, the Common Cuckoo and the Eurasian Cuckoo

It's a bird that makes the sound "cuckoo" and is famous for laying its eggs in other birds nests. The cuckoo chick then hatches before the other eggs, and pushes them out of the nest. The mother of the murdered eggs then presumes that the cuckoo is its own offspring and feeds it.
No. Onomatopoeia is a word that sounds like the thing. Bang, Pop. Crackle. The birds- cuckoo, bob white and whippoorwill all have calls that sound like their name.
It sounds very much like "cuckoo" stressed on the first syllable.
A cuckoo is a type of bird
Cuckoo shrikes eat large insects like grasshoppers that they pull out of trees. They can also attack other cuckoo shrikes for food. A relative of the cuckoo shrike, the triller can eat insects in mid air
it is called crazy or if the clock is cooking
Yes. An onomatopeoia is a word made to sound like whatever it is describing. The Cuckoo bird makes a "cuckoo" sound as its call.
Doves and sometimes pigeons make a sound close to that description. Owls make a sound similar, but their call is more of a 'hoo' sound or 'hoot.' If the bird makes a 'cuckoo' sound then it is a cuckoo bird.
That is correct, like cuckoo and whisper, an onomatopoeia is a word formed by imitation of a sound, i.e. the sound connected to the meaning of the word.
A Dove generally makes a "coo"-ing sound,it may not exactly sound like a "coo" but it is...
CUCKOO
It's a bird that makes the sound "cuckoo" and is famous for laying its eggs in other birds nests. The cuckoo chick then hatches before the other eggs, and pushes them out of the nest. The mother of the murdered eggs then presumes that the cuckoo is its own offspring and feeds it.

Not really; an onomatopoeia is a word formed from imitation of the sound of the meaning - so cuckoo, buzz or meow qualify, but "ate" doesn't sound like the noise of eating. "yum" might be closer.
The association of the cuckoo with insanity is because of the cuckoo clock. The gears and noisy mechanical cuckoo of the cuckoo clock are figuratively equated with the strange goings-on of a crazy person's mind.
It sounds very much like "cuckoo" stressed on the first syllable.
"Onomatopoeia" is the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named (e.g., cuckoo, sizzle, bang).
