The Mindanao Pygmy Cuckoo is a small bird species found in the Philippines, particularly on the islands of Mindanao and Samar. It is known for its distinct call, a series of high-pitched whistles. This species primarily inhabits forested areas, including both primary and secondary forests, and is often found in the mid to upper levels of the canopy. The Mindanao Pygmy Cuckoo feeds on insects and small fruits, foraging within the dense foliage of the forest. It is a secretive bird and can be difficult to spot due to its small size and elusive nature.
