Pheasant Coucal (breeding male)
Centropus phasianinus

Pheasant Coucal, Centropus phasianinus

Although a member of the Cuckoo family the Pheasant Coucal build their own nest and raise their own young. During the breeding season males call from the tops of trees with a long drawn out hooting call. Often seen on road verges, males appear to us roadways as breeding territory boundary markers.
