No Julian,
 
My face stays a long way from the bird!  I'm not silly, I use a syring and tweezers depending on what's on the menu!
 
Great photo of yours.
 
I am truly amazed at cuckoos - how do the young ones recognise their species for breeding purposes when they are brought up by something quite different?  Then they have some quick enjoyable (presumably) sex and do not stay for responsible parenting.  What a life!
 
cheers,
Marg
