Brush cuckoo        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Australia has a lot of cuckoos; unlike North American cuckoos, all are brood parasites (they lay their eggs in the nests of other species).   This plain-colored species is the brush cuckoo; these were in Darwin in the Northern Territory and in Cairns in north Queensland.
