Black-eared cuckoo
Species of bird / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The black-eared cuckoo (Chrysococcyx osculans) is a species of cuckoo in the family Cuculidae. Found across Australia, it migrates to eastern Indonesia and southern New Guinea. They are usually observed by themselves or in a pair[2] as they don't raise their own young,[3] rather they leave eggs in another species nest to be raised by host.[4]
