Homonym: Cuckoos (Madness)
Cuckoos are a family of birds known as Cuculidae, found in various habitats around the world. They are recognized for their distinctive calls and often have a slender body shape. Many species are known for their unique breeding behavior, where they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, a practice known as brood parasitism.
There are over 140 species of cuckoos, including the common European cuckoo and the Greater roadrunner. Cuckoos typically feed on insects and other small animals. Their presence in ecosystems can indicate the health of the environment, as they often rely on specific host species for their reproductive success.
