Dwarf Cuckoo

Coccycua pumila

The Dwarf Cuckoo (Coccycua pumila) is a small cuckoo species found in Central and South America. It is known for its distinctive call and secretive nature. This species is primarily insectivorous, foraging in the dense undergrowth of tropical forests. The Dwarf Cuckoo is often heard rather than seen, as it tends to stay hidden within the foliage. It is a brood parasite, laying its eggs in the nests of other bird species. The conservation status of the Dwarf Cuckoo is currently listed as Least Concern by the IUCN, due to its widespread distribution and stable population.

Habitat: Tropical forests
