Abstract
The Bashkir bait "Sak and Suk" is one of the most popular poetic works of folk oral poetry. Bait is widespread among the Bashkirs, Tatars and Chuvash. This article is devoted to the study of parallels in the plots of the Bashkir texts of the mythological bait Sak-Suk with the tales and legends of the Bulgarian people about the cuckoo (owl) and the owl. It turned out that these folklore works have a similar plot basis: the mother curses her naughty children and turns them into birds that are not destined to meet each other. The differences are only in the names of the birds, although in the two peoples the main characters turn into night birds from the owl family. And in some cases, in Bulgarian folklore works, one of the heroes (mainly a daughter) turns into a cuckoo. Keywords: Bashkirs, Bait, Folklore, Expedition, Variant, Plot, Parallel, Mythology, Folk Art
