Would you paraphrase the the underlined part?

A cuckoo is a bird that has a call of two quick notes, and lays its eggs in other birds' nests.

Does it mean it can sing two kinds of songs?
  

Top answer

No, it means that its call is composed of two quick notes ('ku-ku'). A bird call is different than a bird song, and in this case 'song' is meant.
