Dear birders,
Received this from family in Botswana. Any views on
this subject with respect to Australian Cuckoo hosts??!
Regards,
Peter Madvig
But then this afternoon I had a young Striped
Cuckoo following a group of
Babblers around the garden annoying us all with
his loud plaintive begging
for food call - also supposedly late for them to
have bred. As an aside here
I have noted that a lot of these kind of birds,
Babblers, Bulbul's &
BouBou's breed twice a year in my garden, the 1st
breeding is in early
September, normally well before the Cuckoos arrive in
any force and then
again in Feb/March when the cuckoo's are around - is this
a clever survival
type strategy????
