What is a Cuckoo?
CUCK'OO
Lev 11:16. Doubtless a mistranslation. It is thought most probable that "the slender bird" here referred to may have been a species of shearwater (Puffins), several kinds of which are common on the coast of Palestine, are sold in the markets of maritime towns, and, as living on fish, would be forbidden food to the Jews.
