St. Helena Cuckoo
Nannococcyx psix Olson, 1975
Cuculidae — Cuckoos
St. Helena Cuckoo, Nannococcyx psix, was a cuckoo of St. Helena in the tropical south-east Atlantic Ocean. Described by Olson in 1975, it is known only from a single humerus. It was a small member of the cuckoo family and is thought to have lived in the island’s forests. The bird is extinct, and its loss was linked to deforestation on St. Helena during the eighteenth century.
