The Black-fronted Bronze Cuckoo is a small cuckoo species found in Australia and nearby islands. It has a distinctive black mask and bronze-green upperparts, with a white underbelly. This species is known for its repetitive and melodious call, often heard during the breeding season. It primarily feeds on insects and caterpillars, and is known to parasitize the nests of other bird species. The Black-fronted Bronze Cuckoo is a migratory species, spending the breeding season in Australia and then migrating to Indonesia and New Guinea during the non-breeding season.
