Have you ever heard the natural sound of the cuckoo bird in China or anywhere else?

Most of the time, when I think of the cuckoo bird, I tend to think of the cuckoo clock. I had never really thought of the clock imitating a real bird. However, lately, during my morning walks around the track on my campus, I’ve been hearing a “cuck-oo, cuck-oo” sound coming from the trees. I asked some friends about it and they told me it was the “du4 juan1″ (杜鹃) and describe its sound as “boo-koo.”

Here’s a site with some pictures:

Have you ever heard one?
Muller (sorry, I can’t do the two dots over the “u”), what do you mean, “What kind of a question is this?” Is a GENUINE question! I never heard this bird call before I moved to northwest China. I’ve been noticing it quite a bit in recent days, so I decided to ask about it. I thought the question would be a nice change of pace from the political overtones this section has taken.
I’m not responsible for the referenced website. If you note, I used it to show the PICTURES of the birds, not the sounds. I’m sorry the sound links don’t work . . . .
