Biak Coucal

Centropus chalybeus (Salvadori, 1876)

Cuculidae — Cuckoos

Biak Coucal, Centropus chalybeus, is a cuckoo found on Biak in the Geelvink Bay islands of north-west New Guinea, within West Papua, Indonesia. It is confined to that area and lives in subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest. Its main distinguishing feature in the available information is its very restricted range. The bird is associated with habitat loss, which affects the forest it depends on.
