      thanks, when i first read about cuckoos when i was a kid it made me really upset. Several days ago the idea for this came to me during a walk in the woods. Kind of odd to think of a bird as a parasite, but a cuckoo fits the bill nicely doesn't it

        It is an interesting thought, to call a bird a parasite... and it has me thinking of some small bird landing on someone's head, then staying there until they become one, the bird slowly possessing the mind of the person... Hmm

            Isn't it? <3 It sounds oddly beautiful, too.

    Nice piece here! I like the tie-in with the fox; really helps convey the circularity of nature. ^^

      thank you,
      yes i did want to make a point of that.
      Also it is more noticeable on the version i posted on fa, the brown text resembles an egg (the transition to a P.D.F sort of destroyed it :/) .

      thanks i got the idea during a walk in the woods this last winter. It was eerily silent that day. It was sunny yet frigid with a slight breeze that rattled the dead sea-reeds that line the Carmanas river. My mother and i passed by a tree and a bird suddenly called out as we passed by and i swear it sounded like the poor sucker was crying. Next thing i know i start thinking about cuckoos, rest is history XD
