Cuckoos are a family of birds known as Cuculidae, found in various parts of the world. They are recognized for their distinctive calls and often have a slender body shape. Many cuckoo species are brood parasites, meaning they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, leaving the host to raise their young.
These birds typically have a varied diet that includes insects and fruits. Some well-known species include the common cuckoo, famous for its call, and the yellow-billed cuckoo, which is known for its striking appearance. Cuckoos play an important role in their ecosystems as both predators and prey.
