cuckoo falcon

A cuckoo falcon is a type of falcon belonging to the genus Aviceda. These birds are characterized by a crested head and a bill with a double notch. They often resemble cuckoos in their coloration and patterns.1

Falcons, in general, are diurnal birds of prey known for their long, pointed wings and swift flight. They are found worldwide and vary in size. Falcons have a distinctive notch in their beak, often referred to as a "tooth". They typically nest in tree holes or on cliff ledges and lay around four to five eggs. Their diet can include birds, bats, fish, insects, and small mammals.23
