amardeep Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 There is a hukamnama by Guru Hargobind wherein he ask for a pair of kuckoo birds to be brought to him. The kucko birds are known for their beautiful singing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amardeep Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Hmm maybe there was also something symbolic in this calling for these birds than a mere appreciation of their singing. "Cuckoos are often highly secretive and in many cases best known for their wide repertoire of calls. Calls are usually relatively simple, resembling whistles, flutes, or hiccups.[28] The calls are used in order to demonstrate ownership of a territory" - Wikipedia 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amardeep Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Kavi Santokh Singh has a famous verse which has been online for years that goes something like "Bani and Bana are like the two wings on a bird. With one wing missing, the bird will never be able to fly". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragmaala Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 @GurpreetKaur birds are mentioned way more times in Gurbani than Dogs. Birds wake up in morning , they do chu chu in morning and do bhagti of God. We should be faithful like dogs I agree, but without the calling of birds God wont hear us . Beat this hehe! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
