Yellow-throated Bronze Cuckoo

Chrysococcyx flavigularis

The Yellow-throated Bronze Cuckoo (Chrysococcyx flavigularis) is a small cuckoo species found in the forests and woodlands of New Guinea and nearby islands. This bird is known for its striking plumage, with iridescent green upperparts, a bronze-colored crown, and a bright yellow throat. It has a slender body and a long tail, and its call is a series of melodious whistles. The Yellow-throated Bronze Cuckoo primarily feeds on insects and caterpillars, which it catches by gleaning from foliage or by hawking from a perch. This species is generally secretive and solitary, making it a challenge to observe in the wild.
