which is a very slender, graceful looking bird, with a long tail. Named for their unique cuc-koo call, they also have very unique feet. Their feet are like claws or hooks. With two toes on the front and two on the back, they can grip almost anything. They are brown in colouring, with a white underside and tale-tips, and a red eye-ring in adults (the two sexes are alike). They can be spotted along the forest's edge and in thickets, and their strange call can be heard during the day or night.
