Bornean Ground Cuckoo

Eupetes macrocerus

The Bornean Ground Cuckoo (Eupetes macrocerus) is a rare and elusive bird species found in the lowland forests of Borneo. This ground-dwelling bird has a distinctive appearance, with a dark brown plumage, long tail, and a striking blue facial skin. It is known for its loud, resonant calls that echo through the dense undergrowth. The Bornean Ground Cuckoo is primarily insectivorous, foraging on the forest floor for insects, small reptiles, and other invertebrates. Due to habitat loss and fragmentation, this species is considered vulnerable to extinction.
