	Cuckoo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cuculidae or cuckoos are a family of near passerine birds.
		The cuckoo egg hatches earlier and the chick grows faster and in most cases the chick evicts the eggs or young of the host species.
		The family also includes the American cuckoos, the roadrunners, the anis, and the coucals, none of which are brood parasites.

	Cuckoo: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		The Cuculiformes or cuckoos are an order of near passerine birds, many (but not all) of which are brood parasites in the nests of birds of other species.
		The turacos were previously classed as cuckoos, but are better considered as a separate order, Musophagiformes.
		The group gets its English and scientific names from the call of the Common Cuckoo, which is also familar from cuckoo clocks[?].

	Cuckoo
		The Cuculidae or cuckoos are an order of near passerine birds, many of which are brood parasites in the nests of birds of other species.
		The coucals are not nest parasites and, unlike many cuckoos, lay their eggs on the ground.
		The Cuculiformes order, in addition to the cuckoos, also includes the turacos (perhaps better considered as a separate order, Musophagiformes) and the unique Hoatzin, which was previously classified in the Galliformes.

	ADULT BROOD PARASITES FEEDING NESTLINGS AND FLEDGLINGS OF THEIR OWN SPECIES: A REVIEW
		Nest predation, presumably by female cuckoos, is more likely to occur if the parasitic egg has been ejected.
		The question remains whether the provisioning of young by brood par- asites is common enough to be considered a strategy or whether it is simply trivial behavior.

	Northern Drakensberg & The Kruger Bird Watching Report
		A Red-chested Cuckoo called but remained hidden, but we were soon out and enjoying Bar-throated Apalis, Forest Canary, Yellow-streaked Greenbul, Black-backed Puffback, Knysna Turaco and singing Sombre Greenbuls, the latter seemingly everywhere.
		Dideric Cuckoo and several Yellow-crowned Canaries were found, but the most amazing sight was the sheer number of Cattle Egrets heading out from roost sites for the day's foraging.
		Yet another Dideric Cuckoo (this is no place to be a weaver) was on the fence, searching for caterpillars and we arrived in good down at our chosen spot.

		The highly enigmatic prize bird at Hillwood is the Black-collared Bulbul-Shrike, a bizarre monotypic genus and it is still hotly debated weather the bird is a bulbul or a shrike.

	Namib Desert, Walvis Bay & Etosha Bird Watching Report
		Although we’d seen a few species on the drive from the airport, this was our first taste of birding in Namibia — and the rolling hills covered in acacia woodland are an excellent place to start.
		The birding was diverse, with excellent looks in the late afternoon light at many species including Dideric Cuckoo (male displaying to a female), Groundscraper Thrush, Icterine Warbler (on passage), Blacksmith Lapwing, Pearl-spotted Owlet (Margaret was an owl-enthusiast), Monteiro’s Hornbill (our first near-endemic bird species) and Black-chested Snake-eagle.
		We had the privilege of a seldom-experienced dusk drive, with breathtaking views of Elephant, Spotted Hyaena, and a truly memorable sunset with lines of Giraffe breaking the orange horizon.

	birdwatching trip report - The Gambia - surfbirds.com
		A few of us had a good view of the front of the bird and we realised it was a Red-chested Cuckoo, a bird we hadn't considered we would see on our trip to The Gambia.
		Suddenly a cuckoo was called, tracked down and identified as African Cuckoo, another good bird to get, with a bill showing much more yellow than its European cousin.
		I found a cuckoo species in one of these trees and shouted 'there's a cuckoo in that bush' which necessitated the boat doing a slow turn so we could go back and check out the bird.

		The highlight was probably the hugely pregnant and very big Bush Pig sow which came within 20m of us to scatch her rump vigorously on a protruding dead branch.
		Red-headed Quelea, Green-winged Pytilia (Melba Finch), Pin-tailed Whydah (I think this has to be one of my favourite birds, common though it is), and Yellow-fronted Canary were there too.
		Although I stayed in a banda at Busingiro Forest Reserve (40k west of Masindi), on tour I would stay at the nice and clean Nyabyeya Forestry College Guest House.
