Hello Viv,
It's Common Koel :). A species that's in the process of colonizing the ACT.
Cheers!

This was photographed by a neighbour in
Kaleen. A wattle bird feeding a cuckoo. I saw it today, but could
not get a really good look. Is is a Koel juvenile? That was the
nearest looking in the books. I did not know if they laid their eggs in
another birds nest or not.The neighbour has watched it feeding the
youngster for days now.
Viv
