Sorry to have caused concern and confusion to the group.

I meant ....
other similar sized birds that eat large grubs/caterpillars, such as cuckoos (like Pallid or Horsfield's Bronze-Cuckoos), that I have seen feeding .......

Cuckoo-Shrikes are not cuckoos

Yes,
I have not had much chance to observe B-f C-S but other cuckoos I have
watched feed would pounce on a caterpillar and take it to a perch where
they
beat it on the stick - maybe to gut it? before eating it.
