Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) is a bird that is mainly known for its call and for laying its eggs in other birds' nests, so-called nesting parasitism.

Staffan Johnson, son of Jie, worked at JIE Ceramics. He drew patterns for Jie in his young years and became a permanent employee.
He was also a partner in the company. He was also an ornithologist so there were many bird paintings.
He also knew other animals and was diligently involved in production, he managed to make about 200 new models for Jie.
