Hi Birdo's
While at Australia's Wonderland (Sydney) the other day I a saw
a rather unusual sight. While scoffing into a hotdog I noticed a
Channel-Billed Cuckoo chasing a Peregrine Falcon. I saw the falcon first on
the top of the spaceprobe, then when it dove grounwards a Channel-Billed
Cuckoo came from nowhere. The cuckoo was at full speed when it appeared and
was intent on catching the falcon.This was achieved and the cuckoo gave the
falcon a couple of good swipes with his massive bill. The faclon didn't take
to kindly to the attack but resisted any retaliation.The cuckoo continued to
attack but was eventually left by shear speed by the falcon, but, eventually
chased him out of sight.
Has anybody seen this sought of behaviour before or heard of
it? I'm keen to hear your response.
Jason.
