	Thats a question and a half Gwyn! Hope you get an answer to it, lol i have no idea, except that i think they are "programmed" (for want of a better word) to fly south, but as you said how do they recognise their own breed when brought up by a different breed? confused,,,,, you will be! .... lol

	Another bird question..... How does a baby cuckoo reared by parents of a different species know that it has to fly south in the cooler months AND Do the said baby cuckoos meet up with others in their area, ... "Bye Mum, I'm off to find my own kind "..... or do they just set off for Africa on their own? Gwyn
