I didn't see or don't recall. However, all passerines(songbirds) hop
and all non-passerines walk. I am sure someone will correct me if I am
wrong(which I am certainly entertaining as a possibility) I am also
assuming Horsefield's Bronze-cuckoo is a passerine. Where is Peter
Slater's field guide when you need one!
