The cuckoo is a bird that didn’t have the best reputation in the Middle Ages. It was seen as a selfish bird because it laid its eggs in the nests of other birds, leaving those other birds to raise the young cuckoos. In this cowl, the cables steal in and out of one another rather than staying in a straight line, just like a cuckoo stealing in and out of another bird’s nest.
