Cacomantis addendus

The Rusty-breasted Cuckoo is a medium-sized cuckoo found in Southeast Asia. It has a distinctive rusty-orange breast and belly, with a grey head and upperparts. This species is known for its loud and repetitive call, often heard in the forest canopy. The Rusty-breasted Cuckoo is a brood parasite, laying its eggs in the nests of other bird species. It feeds on insects and caterpillars, which it catches by gleaning from foliage or by hawking in flight. This cuckoo is often found in dense forests and wooded areas, where it can be seen perched in the canopy or flying between trees.
