African Cuckoos are a group of birds belonging to the family Cuculidae, found across various regions in Africa. They are known for their distinctive calls and often have striking plumage. These birds are brood parasites, meaning they lay their eggs in the nests of other bird species, leaving the host to raise their young. There are several species of African Cuckoos, including the Common Cuckoo and the Great Spotted Cuckoo. They primarily feed on insects and caterpillars, playing a role in controlling pest populations. Their unique reproductive strategy and adaptability make them fascinating subjects for ornithologists and birdwatchers alike.
